Read our privacy policy Air New Zealand has appeared to make a dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after the former included a reference to the airline in his explosive new book, Spare. The tweet and Facebook post was seemingly in response to Harry writing in his memoir that Meghan paid for a first-class flight on Air New Zealand from Mexico to the UK for her father, Thomas Markle. “Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg.” However, despite the claim, Air New Zealand does not offer first class travel on its flights - only economy, premium economy and business class. The Independent’s Lucy Pavia gave Spare four stars in her review, calling it “A chaotic but stylish memoir that sets fire to the royal family”.
