Like: Aircraft was better than others I've flown in. Crew was great, food was very good. Air New Zealand is now my favorite airline. On our long flight from AKL to YVR there was enough room for those of us in Economy to stretch a bit. My sister is disabled and they took very good care of her and me. Best entertainment offering of all the other airlines. Not so much; Flight from AKL to YRV was delayed BUT they recovered really well so no complaints here. Pretty petty point to complain about. Only negative I have. I will recommend to friends.
Nice friendly staff and crew. Love the 787 flight. Get meals and lots of drinks!
Great entertainment options on the screen. uSB A and C chargers. Free WiFi! Crew were excellent.
Check in crew member was very helpful, nice and excellent service👍
Overall the plane was good and the crew great. The big disappointment was the skycouch. Maybe it would be good if you were a parent with 2 small kids travelling but as a couple it's hopeless. It's impossible for 2 adults to lie down so one ends up sitting. We split our time with one lying and the other sitting. We both got more sleep sitting upright. We will never book one again and don't recommend it to anyone.
Aircon set too high so VERY warm and VERY uncomfortable.
Not a comfortable trip, the seats are not good, and they look old.
Lost my luggage and brought someone else luggage to my airport.
I flew United from San Francisco to Auckland. My connecting flight from Auckland to Christchurch was canceled with no explanation. I was finally told the cancellation was due to fog. Even though it was clear when we landed. I am from San Francisco, I know what fog is! And I didn't see any fog. I was told the next available flight was 7 hours later. Unacceptable, they should have had a flight ready to go as soon as it was deemed safe to take off.
Our original flight was cancelled from SFO to AKL on 6/16/25. So we had to stay overnight at a hotel after a 12-hour layover plus 3-hour delay before the cancellation. Then had to fly to LA and then to AKL the following day losing an entire day of our vacation in NZ, that we can never get back.
The flight was delayed by 2 hours but the Jetstar crew were fantastic.
Late leaving and desintuon board showed ‘gate closed’ when they hadn’t even commenced boarding!
Flight was delayed more than 1.5 hours. Gate changed multiple times
The good thing is that the flight got us from Darwin to Brisbane. However, it would have to be the most uncomfortable flight I have ever taken and if I can possibly avoid flying Jetstar again, I will.
I was treated poorly in Dunedin by check in crew, then my bag was lost in Auckland. Never again.
no announcement about why we where delayed which is very poor
It was better than I expected. Thought $5 for a small cup of tea was a bit much!
Overall good trip I find seats a bit hard. We were waiting on board for about an hour for 2 passengers with some document issue. This main our arrival late for our pickup person.
15kg allowance is outrageous. Change of time a few days before departure and more than 2 hours of delay in the end. The worse we’ve taken so far in Oceania.
They added the weight of my back to the carryon luggage and charged me NZ$75 for being over 7 kg.
