Air New Zealand Baggage Allowance

Air New Zealand Baggage Allowance

Air New Zealand has specific baggage allowances based on factors such as the passenger's ticket type, destination, and frequent flyer status. Here is a general overview of Air New Zealand's baggage allowance policy:

1. Carry-On Baggage: For most flights, passengers are allowed one carry-on bag and one small personal item, such as a handbag or laptop bag. The maximum dimensions for carry-on baggage are typically 118cm (46.5 inches) combined (length + width + height), and the weight limit is usually 7kg (15.4 lbs).

2. Checked Baggage: The checked baggage allowance varies depending on the ticket type, destination, and frequent flyer status. In general, for most Economy fares on domestic flights within New Zealand, passengers are allowed one checked bag weighing up to 23kg (50 lbs). For international flights, the baggage allowance can range from 1 to 3 checked bags, with weight limits typically ranging from 23kg (50 lbs) to 32kg (70 lbs) per bag.

3. Frequent Flyer Benefits: Air New Zealand offers additional baggage allowances for members of its Airpoints loyalty program based on their tier status. For example, Airpoints Silver members may receive an extra checked bag allowance, while Airpoints Gold, Elite, and Elite Partner members may enjoy increased weight limits or additional checked bags, depending on the specific fare and route.

It's important to note that baggage allowances may vary depending on the specific ticket, fare type, route, and any applicable airline partnerships or codeshare flights.

Please note that excess baggage fees may apply if you exceed the baggage allowance. It's always best to check your specific allowance for your itinerary by contacting their customer service team.
