Air New Zealand baggage policy
Baggage on Air New Zealand is fare-dependent: budget-oriented fares generally cover a personal item only, while standard and premium fares add carry-on and checked allowances. Long-haul routes usually include one or two checked bags in the base fare. Prepaying bags at ticketing is nearly always cheaper than paying at the airport, and our agents add baggage at the lowest published rate when they issue your ticket. See our extra baggage service for details.
Air New Zealand cancellation policy
Air New Zealand tickets booked in the US market can be cancelled free within 24 hours of purchase when departure is at least a week away. After that, refundable fares return cash, non-refundable fares generally become credit, and the lowest fare tiers may hold little or no residual value. Our agents review your exact fare rules before you cancel anything. Need help right now? Our cancellation desk reviews your ticket free of charge.
Air New Zealand date change policy
Changing dates on Air New Zealand means paying the fare difference to the new flight, plus a change fee on some restricted fares. Flexible and premium tickets typically change free. Call us before changing anything — rebooking into the right booking class can cut the difference dramatically. More on our date change service.
Air New Zealand check-in information
Air New Zealand check-in opens online roughly 24–48 hours pre-departure (varies by route). International flights typically require you at the airport 3 hours early; bag drop closes about an hour before departure. Passengers with special assistance needs should arrive on the earlier side.

How do I book Air New Zealand flights through VoyageStates?
Call +1 (888) 555-0199 or submit the enquiry form on this page with your route and dates. A specialist compares Air New Zealand's published fares against our contracted rates and quotes your all-in price — usually within 30 minutes.
Can VoyageStates get cheaper Air New Zealand fares than the airline's website?
