Find Cheap Flights from Sydney Kingsford Smith to Newark (SYD - EWR)

Small plane

Air con too cold. Freezing inside the plane

Professionalism of crew members. They did their job.

Freezing cabin and miniscule overhead bins. Misleading "first class" moniker. This is worse than most premium economy seats on other airlines! Crammed seats and dismal amenities.

Nothing. I wasn't able to board the flight, so I wouldn't know.

The staff from Air NZ made me lose my flight, keeping me doing queue after queue to pay for a piece of luggage that (apparently) was not included in a $350 fare. They wanted me to pay between $160 and $200 for putting a backpack in the plane!! Pay for almost another flight entirely! While I was going through the queues, the check in time ran out and, by the time I got to talk to someone at the desk to pay for the bag, the woman told me the plane didn't accept any more passengers... while I was still trying to get someone from the airline to help me! ONE HOUR BEFORE DEPARTURE. The plane was supposed to departure at 8:15 and I was still there at 7:15 trying to send my backpack to the cargo area...the solution? Re-book the flight, make me pay $185 in penalties and fees, plus $160-$200 for luggage and the difference of price when booking another flight.

Alecia (flight attendant) was pleasant and helpful.

Being in the air for an extra twenty minutes and wondering if we were in an Erebus situation due to low cloud. I had assumed that planes had navigational instruments to assist landings in low cloud, but it seems that much depends on actual physical visibility. Is this something to do with the fact that flight control towers are not manned? It was very disconcerting and the pilot's seemingly casual attitude did not really help. I was grateful to finally be able to land but was told on disembarkation that had there been 50ft less visibility, we would have been on our way back to Auckland!

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Boarding gate far end of airport

Food nice, much better than KLM. Typical great Asian service.

No information as to why boarding was over 30 minutes late, even though last call was announced!

Food was good. Staff were great. Headphones not the best.

Took 3 days to deliver my case. They have daily flights. Very poor.

The service in Premium Economy was outstanding with two dedicated and attentive staff members. The food was excellent and drinks served in real glass made a difference. the space was generous, seats comfortable, and pillows and blankets of a higher quality than economy. Overall a superior experience.

Check in was a bit of a mess with no dedicated line for premium economy, business, or first class.

Snack ordering system Good service (picked up passenger's eye glasses when person was sleeping)

The gate agent helped half a dozen people (not including those described below) understand they were boarding with the wrong group.

Fully one-quarter of the passengers boarded as disability or premium. This included a party of eight that boarded with one person in a wheelchair because "We're all together."

boarding and gate agent were superb

temperature in the cabin was hot enough to roast a turkey

Flash for mac did not install

I felt like I was on my way to my death

Both flight were delayed and I had to reschedule my flights and miss my arrangements.

It looks like that there is no respect for Time .
