We supposedly bought and extra comfort seat but they don’t have true Econ plus seating.

Everything was great . Arrived on time was smooth plane was clean. Crew/Staff was friendly and helpful.

.very good and as I needed wheelchair assistance all staff excellent.. only suggestion is get rid of those plastic chairs hard to ride in and staff have trouble compared to others. Everything else very good experience. Will use Fiji Air again.

See previous comments. Didn’t take this flight because my other flight was so delayed. Ending up on two other flights as a result and was more than a day late.

They charged me over a $1000 dollars to bring two surfboard bags as check baggage. Inappropriate and I would avoid flying sgain

Really liked the plane and business class seat. Food was ok but could be better. Service was very good.

1.5Hrs to get from plane into terminal. Long wait. Flight to NZ 1 he late

Flight full. 'Volunteers' to check hand luggage. Checked hand luggage is lost

It was not at all clear when purchasing the tickets that checked baggage was not included and cost $540 per bag. That’s unacceptable. I see it was clear if booking direct through the airline and a different economy ticket could have been purchased that included baggage. Kayak linked to flight centre where it was not clear though and there was no option to purchase the baggage inclusive economy version.

Excellent service all staff where very friendly patient and efficient solved a boarding problem for me due to me not being able to access the visa portal for the USA.

- Many airports in Australia and New Zealand have no place to sit at the gate - Boarding was a little disorganized but pretty fast - Interesting food served on board. Why a New Zealand airline had 3 choices for lunch and 2 of them are Mexican and the last one was Macaroni and Cheese? - Flight Attendants are nice and helpful. - Neither of the USB charging ports for the two of us are working? Our phone drained of charge after 13+ hour flight so when landing we cannot call anybody for pickup. - Internet service was free, but connection was so bad that nothing seems to get through - Beside Internet, other entertainments were excellent

Not up to their standard . After checking in my bag and having made a tight connection off NZ 29, they tried to bump me off the flight at the gate. In they end I argued myself onto the plane but my bag followed on a later plane. After over 24 hours of flying and despite being an Air NZ Platinum card holder being put in this position was unnaceptable

I like Air NZ, but rather old plane seating in Premium Economy. Not very comfortable , nor very roomy.

More comfortable seats. Even after an hour of travel, they are very hard to sit on. Enforce the amount of stuff that travellers can carry on. Some have up to three bags and take over other passengers' overhead locker space.

Crew members are so courteous and easy to talk to. My flight ticket was expensive from Chicago to Rotorua at $2800 usd. Everything else is very nice!

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.

Great service. Food could be improved but overall a very good airline

All good, except entertainment system could have been better. More choices.

Good and appreciate the effort Air Zealand puts into using more environmentally friendly food containers and utensils. yay! One of the better airlines for this for sure. Still some bad stuff, but at least Air NZ is trying. :) Also really enjoyed the bluetooth option for personal headsets. :)

Food was not good. We asked for Muslim food and it was weird tasteless type of boiled veges.

I didn't like that they wanted extra money to watch a movie on the other airlines it's free that I use anyway

The flight was fine. Long wait at security and for wheelchair. Got to gate about 5 minutes before boarding

nothing at all. no headset for 5hrs to watch the entertainment, no snack

Disappointing flight experience! ✈️ A two-hour delay, insufficient food and drinks, terrible cabin crew, and poor service overall. No toothbrushes or toothpaste provided for a long-haul flight — absolutely unacceptable! Compared with Japan Airlines, the difference in service quality is unbelievable. Overall, this experience was simply not good enough.

They put us on stand by even though we booked it on the air Canada website and had seats picked so that sucked. Flight was awesome nice having a free beer and a movie

Process of checking in , inToronto was quiet and peaceful.. Checking in, in America is very kaotic

They should improve their choice of food, we need a wide variety

The crew were very friendly and made me feel at home. They should give us food not snacks especially when traveling with an early plane. I think breakfast will be appreciated

This was an Air New Zealand flight. All went very smoothly even during the busy Christmas travel period. Thank you!

The flight attendants were friendly. The food was ok, but the wine was cheap. I was disappointed!
