"unimpressed with the lack of care"
P Thompson (New Zealand)
✅ Verified Review | Booked through Air New Zealand Star Alliance, flight got cancelled and only got notified once at the airport. Shocking service from both Air New Zealand and Virgin. Should have arrived in the Gold Coast mid afternoon, will now arrive around 2.30am. Have lost money in pre paid accomodation and childcare but got told refunding our tickets wasn't even an option. Neither airline wanted to know about it. I would not recommend using Air New Zealand's Star Alliance service, very unimpressed with the lack of care factor for the passengers time and loss of money.

"the service was excellent"
P Elliott (New Zealand)
✅ Verified Review | I flew Auckland direct to Perth on 23 March 2017 in premium economy (25J) with Air New Zealand. The service was excellent and the extra leg room is very welcome. Very nice meal. Would like the seats to have a little more cushioning for long haul flights otherwise no complaints at all.

"staff on NZ449 were outstanding"
M Takava (New Zealand)
✅ Verified Review | Auckland to Wellington. The staff on the flight NZ449 were outstanding. I was travelling with my daughter back home and they topped our trip off. She had a grin on her face from the start of the flight until the end of the flight. Thank you for making her feel like she was the only one on the plane. She will definitely remember this experience!

"not willing to give us refunds"
Rongju Zhang (Australia)
✅ Verified Review | We were supposed to fly with Air New Zealand from Melbourne to Queenstown on Friday 31/03/2017. 9:10 am was the original departure time, however was delayed again and again without letting us know the updated estimated departure time, and without letting us know the reason for delay. This is absolutely fine, as delay happens to any flight. At about 11:30am, finally, we started boarding. At about 12:15pm, about 40min after boarding, all the passengers were pulled off from the aircraft, without letting us know the reason. Then, we were asked to wait for another hour for further instructions. At about 1pm the flight was cancelled. This is also fine, as long as they have other plans to bring us there. At about 2:30pm, after another long wait, they arranged us to fly to Sydney and then interchange to Queenstown, and the arrival time in Queenstown will be 2:30pm on the second day. This arrangement was unacceptable to us. We explained our situation again and again but they did nothing, and without a single word for apology. Immediately after that, we booked another flight that will arrive Queenstown in the early morning. After this, we did not get refunds for the tickets. The counter asked us to call the sales representative, then the representative asked us to call our booking agent, but the booking agent asked us to call airline sales representative. What's wrong with Air NewZealand? They cancelled the flight, but they were not willing to give us refunds.

"still managed to sleep"
16 reviews L Mendes (Portugal)
✅ Verified Review | Must say having had a fantastic experience a few days earlier to get this flight it made this flight much easier. The plane was packed full with people however, I never felt like I didn't have enough space. On a 10.5 hour flight I still managed to sleep for more than 5 hours. Really liked the staff and the way the plane was organized.

"very professional, experienced staff"
16 reviews L Mendes (Portugal)
✅ Verified Review | Flew from London to Los Angeles. Was curious to fly Air New Zealand expecting it would be good. After many hours of flights on all kind of airlines, I must say it was a fantastic (kiwi) experience. Very professional, experienced staff, I loved the space on the 777-300 and managed to have a very good sleep. The system to order a drink is fantastic. The inflight Entertainment is not as good as the Middle East competitors, but the comfort and staff made it much easier to deal with the trip.

"everything was very quick and easy"
8 reviews Jorge Silva (Portugal)
✅ Verified Review | I flew Air New Zealand from Queenstown to Auckland via Christchurch. Even with just a 35 min stop in CHC there was no problem with baggage checked in or the passengers. Everything was very quick and easy. Nice ground staff at the check in and gates. Nice and new planes (A320), with a narrow legroom, very nice and relaxed cabin crew. No wi-fi or power outlets.

"a low cost experience"
8 reviews Jorge Silva (Portugal)
✅ Verified Review | Flew from Auckland to Christchurch. Flying with Air New Zealand on a domestic route is a low cost experience. You really have to add - when you buy the ticket online - any baggage to put in the hold. They will be very strict about the maximum weight (23kg wich is better then other airlines). Also be aware that carry-on lugagge really has to fit into grill at the boarding gate. Seats are not very spacious but is ok for such a flight. Just cookies and water are served. Very good creative emergency exits movie (one of the best I have seen). This cabin crew were the most clumsy I have seen, particulary the purser that never seemed to know when to show the movies, when to serve the candies, etc..

"it was a pleasant experience"
41 reviews H Marruddin (Malaysia)
✅ Verified Review | Auckland to Wellington. This was my first time on Air New Zealand, and it was a pleasant experience. The cabin crew were very attentive, which made me comfortable. The plane was new, and the flight was pleasant. It was a short 1-hour flight, so the passengers were served with light snacks.
