Reviews of the top 4 airlines flying from Australia to Christchurch
Toilets could be serviced more frequently. They ran out of toilet paper.
Toilets could be serviced more frequently. They ran out of toilet paper.
It was delayed for 2 hrs. Flight attendants were not attentive.
We boarded but due to a technical issue we spent 4.5hrs on the ground waiting for the issue to be resolved
No kids provided. Instead we were told to have contacted the airline that we have kids and require kids meals. We were not the only ones who inquired about kids meals. It’s odd. Emirates and other airlines give kids meals as standard and before the adult food comes out. The rice in our meals was gluggy and under cooked. The chicken was also raw. Sadly not the best experience with Finn Air. The hostesses tried to compensate with the snacks and drinks but missed the mark by a long way. Especially when paying Emirates/Qantas prices
They cancelled our flight, rebooked, cancelled that one. We are now flying New Zealand Air and need a refund please. How do we get it?
Wifi was not operational for the whole trip. Other than this, flight was well received .
Food no so good. Extra charge to much for front seats cost me £163 then other people sat near me for nothing 🤬
Comfort and customer service from most if the crew was great. The crew reassigning passengers should consider the presence of infants when reassigning seats. Unfortunately a couple of oversized passengers were relocated next to us, making this segment a bit uncomfortable, as there was not only extra leg space required. I ended up swapping seats with my husband so our baby wouldn't be impacted. My husband travelled quite uncomfortable as the reassigned neighbour shoulder and arm ended up on my husband's seat
Seats are not as easy to move as you would hope in premium econo Y
The plane was very old and uncomfortable. Service was very slow!
We got to experience Premium Economy from Sydney to Auckland and it was a great experience wiht Air New Zealand. The crew was friendly and helpful.
The Air New Zealand product is terrible, it's as expensive as a Jetstar ticket with add ons but with surely staff and old aircraft.
I was not even on that flight and did not even book a ticket. Kayak did a phenomenal job
The food was not as good as Air New Zealand. The veg pasta was pass-able but the veg cibotta sandwich was dry, hard and not up to par. The coach staff were attentive and accommodating.
Great entertainment options on the screen. uSB A and C chargers. Free WiFi! Crew were excellent.
I flew United from San Francisco to Auckland. My connecting flight from Auckland to Christchurch was canceled with no explanation. I was finally told the cancellation was due to fog. Even though it was clear when we landed. I am from San Francisco, I know what fog is! And I didn't see any fog. I was told the next available flight was 7 hours later. Unacceptable, they should have had a flight ready to go as soon as it was deemed safe to take off.
Two hours was not enough time to transition from the international to domestic terminal. You have to go through customs, a biological hazard check, gather your luggage, take a bus to the domestic terminal and recheck your luggage. The bus was slow and crowded and the lines to recheck your bags were very long. We missed our connecting flight. Initially, the Air New Zealand officials were not helpful at all in helping to get us on another flight. Told us we would have to buy another ticket for a flight 11 hours later. Found another agent that was more helpful. He helped arrange to get us on standby for another flight three hours later. Had to ride in jump seats next to the flight attendants, but at least we eventually got to out destination.
At Coolangatta International it is difficult to hear voice boarding announcements when away from screen announcements.
Would have been nice to have decaf coffee as an option, and perhaps a scone
They announced food service but then never came around. We also couldn’t land so kept trying to get to runway and then had to come up and go around happened like 3 times and cause the child next to me to start throwing up
Although the flight was delayed and out of their control, we boarded and were underway in no time. The crew were great, the service A1 and the meal was superb ( I had the chicken dish). I would fly with Qantas again, anytime. Noel Swift
My flight with Qantas was excellent, the crew were exceptional, the food was very good, and the seats were surprisingly spacious and comfortable. I was extremely disappointed when my checked bag did not make it onto my connecting flight, but was pleased with the ease of filing a report of a missing bag with Qantas at the Auckland airport - there, my pleasure ended. I can see, with an apple tag on my bag, that it is still in Sydney and has not moved in more than 30 hours. I shared the tracking information with Qantas and was assured when I filed the missing bag report that my bag would be delivered first thing the next morning on the next flight from Sydney to Auckland. Qantas' missing bag tracking feature still lists its status as "searching for your bag, check back later" more than a full 24 hours after filing the report despite my having shared tracking information, a photo of the bag, and calling the customer care line and being assured that an "urgent action message" had been sent to the team in Sydney. The lack of communication from Qantas' customer service department and the lack of action after an incredibly expensive business class ticket price is outrageous and has, definitively, affected my willingness to consider flying Qantas in the future, much less on long-haul international flights with high cost airfare.
I want a refund. I had to switch flights and buy another airline ticket because this one was delayed.
Helpful staff when I felt unwell. Qantas need to have an audio/music channel so you can listen to various music/.artists
It was a good flight and no complaints. It just wasn't anything that was better than any other flight.
Not great. The inflight entertainment was all on an app, and I did not want to watch a film on my phone. Also, the range of options of films was limited.
by the time they got to our row, they were out of some of the food options. games and movies were great but maybe more game options like tetris or pac man would be great
Great as usual, some delays but well communicated and made up for in the air
Inflight entertainment, poor that there are no headrest screens on aircraft used for an international flight.
Short transfer time in Sydney and ground staff were excellent in assisting in clearing through a chaotic transfer security checking.
We were over an hour late taking off when the flight was already a late in the flight. Was very warm for most of the flight to the point that it was uncomfortable.
Everything was spot on until boarding time . Plane was late departing by 40 min… but then they couldn’t find a tug to push us out from the terminal… we sat around for another 20 min making us just over an hour late. Apart from being late everything else was fine !!!
A good standard flight, a little delayed, on the return flight, comfortable during cruise hour. The food was tasty, the tea pleasant, standing in the rain, on Launceston tarmac, was stupidity. Just delay the exit from the airplane, don’t have us standing around, while another plane slows its propellers. That’s common sense, but overall comfortable, clean toilet, good legroom, I paid for that, last on, first off, get a front row seat.
Smooth flight with great staff shame about the hard seats
Jane at Sydney International airport check in was amazing. She set up the whole experience to be a positive one.
The flight ticket were not reimbursed on Jan 22nd from Auckland to Wellington. Very Very dissatisfied.Please reimburse the ticket of my onward travel.
I was treated poorly in Dunedin by check in crew, then my bag was lost in Auckland. Never again.
They added the weight of my back to the carryon luggage and charged me NZ$75 for being over 7 kg.
Flight departing too early at 06.15 Difficult to get to airport
Plane was more than 3 hrs delayed as the only plane on that day. Had to wait 1 hrs in the plane which was very unpleasent.
