What is Economy Skycouch™ It's your couch in the sky.

Imagine a row of Economy seats you can turn into a couch after take-off. Clever, right? Comfy, too.

Skycouch seats are just like standard Economy seats, except each has an adjustable leg rest that can be raised or lowered individually. Lift the leg rests halfway up for a perfect recline, or all the way up to a 90-degree angle to create a lie-flat couch space. Skycouch seats are located in some rows within the Economy cabin of our 777-300ER and 787-9 aircraft.

Strap in and get cosy. A Skycouch measures 1.55m (5ft 1") long and 74cm (29") wide. We provide extra bedding, a seat liner and Skycouch kit with an adult/child loop and cuddle belt so you can stretch out safely and enjoy your space in comfort.

For families travelling with an infant (under two years), a Skycouch gives you space to lie down with your infant using the infant harness. An optional infant pod can be provided, subject to availability.

If you're travelling as one adult and one or two children, one Skycouch provides room to stretch out comfortably. Need a little more room? Book Skycouch plus an additional seat.

Travelling with two adults and more than one child? Consider two Skycouches so everyone can put their feet up and sleep. Or one Skycouch plus an additional seat and take turns being on duty, switching seats during the flight.

If you're travelling with young children, there are set guidelines to ensure their safety.

Children under 12

Children under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult 15 years or older when seated on a Skycouch. An accompanying adult must be seated on the Skycouch or in a seat adjacent across the aisle or in the row immediately behind them.

Please note, the Skycouch can accommodate only one infant (child under two years).

Infant harness and harness belt

When travelling with an infant, we provide an infant harness and harness belt. At the start of the flight, our crew will explain how to use the infant harness and harness belt with the Skycouch. The infant harness can be used when the infant is lying down or seated on an adult's lap. When an infant is using the infant harness and is secured by the harness belt to the standard seatbelt of the window seat, the infant may lie down when the seat belt sign is on.

Infant pod

Skycouch infant pod is an optional sleep space to keep your baby secure and can be provided, subject to availability. To use the pod your infant must fit within the height limits.

Where are Skycouch seats located?

Skycouch seats are located within the Economy cabin on our 777-300ER and 787-9 aircraft, located in designated rows closest to the windows on each side of the aircraft. Not all rows in Economy are Skycouch seats. Seat and row numbers vary by aircraft, but you can find them on our seat maps or when selecting your seats when booking.

Skycouch is not offered on 777-367ER flights as aircraft cabin interiors and furnishings differ slightly.

How do I set up a Skycouch?

At the start of your journey, your cabin crew will provide you with a briefing card and briefing about how to use the Skycouch throughout your flight.

To open out the Skycouch area, raise the armrests on the middle and window seats all the way up. This will give you a larger, uninterrupted space.

All Skycouch seats are equipped with seat belts. You will receive a safety kit containing two adult/child loop belts and a cuddle belt. Please use these belts according to the configurations shown in the briefing card provided.

If you're traveling with an infant, the crew will provide an infant belt.
