Find cheap flights from Christchurch to Auckland

Pros: Take-off and landing were smooth.

Cons: 1) Online check-in wanted our weight of our checked-in bag, and because I didn’t know it, we checked at airport but then had to pay $60 instead of the $25 or so online. 2) while they were making us pay, they didn’t mention that the flight was delayed so we got to our gate almost 2 hours too soon with no clue. 3) they wouldn’t even give a cup of water. Had to pay $4 for a bottle.

Cons: When booking with Kayak I was not given any prompt to pay for baggage. When I arrived at the airport at self check in I was shown no baggage allowance. the employee informed me it would be $70 for 1 checked bag. I do not know where they come up with this charge and think it is absolutely ridiculous that they can spring this unexpected and costly charge at you last minute. Normal baggage charges range from $25-$50 for 1 checked bag and this I could understand. $70 for a 1 hour and 5 minute flight is outrageous

Pros: Service personnel were polite and friendly.

Cons: Being charged for luggage and bags were damaged. Still waiting for results of claim

Pros: The flight was delayed, but the agent bumped us on an earlier flight to accommodate our connections without even asking. No entertainment service, and the flight was short so by the time we were to be served it was ready for landing.

Pros: On time

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Forgot to add check bag to my fair. Arrived early and was to add a check bag for $17. The service was great for the price of a short domestic flight.

Pros: Ground staff and attendants were great!

Cons: No entertainment and have to pay for food, not even a drink.

Cons: I am typically careful to prebook my baggage, but somehow forgot. I was then charged fees that were more than 6x what they would have been if my advance booking had gone through. Their customer support and willingness to help were horrible, and the $145 in fees put a huge damper on my trip. I will never travel with JerStar again.

Pros: Price

Pros: Friendly and efficient.

Pros: The price was OK

Cons: The flight (scheduled for 80 minutes) was almost 6 HOURS LATE!!! The information we received whilst waiting was inconsistent. Very frustrating.

Pros: Crew was professional

Cons: Their fees are outrageous. Great initial price, but once you add in normal baggage fees, price was higher. Once and done. Won't fly Jetstar again

Cons: So I showed up to find out that my ticket didn't include luggage, ok, no big deal I will pay for the bag, what 75$, no problem. oh wait a minute they wanted 300$ for the bag. the flight was less than 250$, I ended up walking over to Air NZ and got a flight with them. I will never, ever, ever, ever book with these jokers again. This should be illegal, showing up at the airport and then being told the baggage charge is over 100% of the price of the ticket. I could have bought another ticket just for my bag and put it in the seat beside me for less. How does an airline justify this???

Pros: Staff apologized for slight delay due to weather which was no big deal. Fast boarding because they use the front door and aft door.

Cons: I overpaid for my checked luggage and couldn't get a refund. I prepaid. You might as well tell people if you are bringing a suitcase, you have to pay. Ticket price should include one suitcase up top 15 kg- 20 kg.

Pros: Price

Pros: Reasonable fares Nice staff

Cons: Hidden baggage fees. I tried to check in online and add a checked bag but experienced a problem with the site. I had no choice but to ask for assistance at the counter and was charged $70 (vs $16 online) for 1 bag that weighed 12 kilos due to "airport fees". Ridiculous!

Pros: Great boarding process. Happy/smiling staff. Great experience overall.

Cons: No onboard entertaibment but it is a budget airline on a short haul flight so....

Pros: When booking the flight I somehow missed that I had to claim luggage beforehand (this was my first time using JetStar). Anyway 170.00 later we were off. The crew and staff were fine. There was no food, no drink, and no entertainment.

Cons: Besides the luggage fees, the seats were terrible. They sit straight up at a 90 degree angle, almost forcing you to recline to get comfortable. Quite claustrophobic.

Cons: I bought jet star tickets worst experience ever All employees are lazy they don’t care about anything

Pros: Forgot to add check bag to my fair. Arrived early and was to add a check bag for $17. The service was great for the price of a short domestic flight.

Cons: We were charged over $300 (NZ) for the check in luggage!!! I told the agent this is ridiculous, our seats were only $159 (NZ). She said that I should have read the "terms & conditions." Like other reviewers, I booked this flight over 3 months ago and didn't take note of any extra charges for checked-in luggage. After reading the comments of others in the same situation, I realize that I'm not alone. I wish I had checked out these reviews of Jetstar BEFORE I booked. You would be doing your clients a big favor to include mention of this strange practice of not including luggage fees by Jetstar..and warn them that these fees could bring the total cost of their airfare to over $500 for a 100 minute domestic flight for 2 travelers. My husband said next time we're going through a travel agent. Sorry

Pros: We survived.

Cons: Screaming children, obnoxious passengers, forced to pay $120 to check two back packs, $5 coffee, rude staff... Will never fly this airline again.

Pros: Nothing unless being over chargered gets me points when in heaven.

Cons: When I ordered the flight the process never gave me a chance to pay for bags like it did from Auckland to Christchurch. However, on the return flight when I went to check the bags in they said I would have to pay $210 for 2 bags. Thanks jetsatr and kayak for not having a good process to order a head of time. Won't use either again unless someone reads this and gives me a refund.

Pros: Note too expensive

Cons: Jet star wanted to charge us $60 at gate for our hand bags after we checked our two carry on bags with 10kg balance. Very confusing baggage policy for people originating from USA

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: They charged us $140 to check two carryon-sized bags (which we were able to fit in overhead bins on all of our other flights during the trip). VERY disappointed. It was either abandon our carryons, or pay the $140. We felt like we were held hostage by this airline's policy and will never fly with Jetstar again.

Pros: Appreciated check in staff who professionally answered our requests re routine steps to process check in. Only regretted that we weren’t aware (perhaps we missed announcement) that my husband who is still recovering from knee surgery was not aware we could have boarded from the forward entrance and avoid the descent and ascent via rear entry.

Pros: Everything :)

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Bathroom did not work, food was not so tasty

Pros: the staffs and the boarding experienve

Pros: Friendly and efficient.

Cons: The flight was late with no explanation as to why. We missed our connection to the second flight. We had to change our car rental plans, and it cost us twice as much. We had to spend 6 extra hours in the Auckland airport.

Pros: Price

Pros: Service personnel were polite and friendly.

Cons: Being charged for luggage and bags were damaged. Still waiting for results of claim

Cons: Baggage process is dumb.

Cons: Delayed, delayed, delayed, cancelled

Cons: Both legs of my flight were late, and the excuses given by each pilot were weak.

Cons: Awful flight Awful service We had to pay for our luggage twice the ticket value The check in supervisor charged us 70$ per bag instead of 17$ for an excuse that they have opened the check in already while we arrived an hour before the flight, the exact time we should be at a domestic flight. And he said he could not do nothing about it Not to mention that we ourselves works at the airport at our country and know exactly how it works we surely not gonna use any of your service again !!

Pros: Great boarding process. Happy/smiling staff. Great experience overall.

Cons: No onboard entertaibment but it is a budget airline on a short haul flight so....

Pros: As always Jetstar knocked it out of the park. Great crew and service. On time despite a passenger issue that was handled extremely delicately and professionally. This is a budget airline with a full service attitude. Never ever have they let me down.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was first class.

Pros: It was cheap and I got what I paid for.....
