Before you fly, make sure you know how many bags you can take and the maximum weight and size allowances. Air New Zealand has all the details here.
Carry-on bags
Economy fares get one carry-on bag plus one small item like a handbag or laptop. Other fares allow two bags plus one small item.
Economy carry-on can weigh up to 7kg, and the total linear dimensions (width, height plus depth) of your carry-on bag can be up to 118cm.
Checked-in baggage
Use the Air New Zealand baggage allowance calculator to work out how much you can pack for your trip.
Excess luggage
If you have more bags than your fare allows, have a chat with the check-in staff about your options.
