Find Cheap Flights from Christchurch to Auckland (CHC - AKL)

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

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: This particular flight was on time!

Cons: Cramp seats. Another 400 NZD for our luggage. It's not the typical 25 for checked bags!

Pros: On time

Cons: Nothing

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: Cost of checked baggage was very high.

Cons: It was our first experience with a low-cost flight and we did not receive any information about the cost of the baggage when paid prior to the flight in the airport. It costed us more than the tickets!!!

Pros: Flight was on time

Cons: we paid some NZ 200 to take luggage 38kg When I booked I did not realize that the allowance was 8kg only. The explanation for the high rate was that we should have informed Jetstar earlier. But.. how to change this when travelling ? This was the only nasty surprise during our 35 days stay in NZ Some warning on your website or lower rates are necessary regards Max

Cons: It was our first experience with a low-cost flight and we did not receive any information about the cost of the baggage when paid prior to the flight in the airport. It costed us more than the tickets!!!

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.

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

Cons: We had to be bussed from the terminal to our flight in both Auckland and Sydney which made the flight delayed and thus me having to run for my connecting flight. Naturally my bags didn't make it past Sydney. There was no in flight breakfast or complimentary snacks nor was there any TVs for the 3 hour flight. Overall, not the best experience.

Pros: Great pitch

Cons: All good: 777:300

Cons: Using a 777 meant longer check in time and was much longer arrival time and baggage collection. Meant I was stuck in Auckland traffic because of the extra time

Pros: Outstanding crew -- attentive but not overbearing. Very pleasant for a 14-hour flight.

Cons: The lack of communication with everything from queuing to board, to food allowance.

Pros: Return flight was not full, extra space to stretch

Cons: Had to carry carry-on suit case up and down stairs when boarded the plane. Based on the seat, half of the passengers boarded through regular ramped hall way, half boarded through back door that went downstairs to get out of the building, then up the stairs to the airplane. In Auckland airport international terminal, all passengers had to weight their carry-on and personal bags, and if it's more than seven kg, you have to check it in. This was the first time I experienced that. I bought gifts in the airport and planned to buy more. Our carry ons were a few kg over the limit, and we were sent back to the check in counter, where we just got our boarding passes and no warnings were given. We were lucky we had plenty of time during this transfer to go through all the back and forth hassles. Paying the extra $$ for the surprise check ins was not pleasant. There was another scale at the gate counter, which totally cancelled my shopping plan. To be fair, weight limit was not enforced when we boarded the plane, but you never know when that scale will be used. During the flight, I asked a flight attendant for water, and she told me to get it myself pointing the curtain half a plane away. Another new experience. This was the first time we took Jetstar, and on the way to New Zealand, we didn't feel it was too much different from the other airlines we flew before except you have to pay for everything from a cup of tea to meals and entertainment, and of course we didn't go through Auckland. The return trip really made us realize you get what you pay for.

Pros: The cabin, crew and aircraft met and exceeded our expectations for this flight. Everything ran smoothly and we were both very impressed with this domestic flight. Thank you Jetstar!

Pros: Crew and staff were nice.

Cons: Baggage fees are super expensive if you don't prepay. Can be as much as the flight itself. Be sure to prepay for your baggage!!

Cons: Went online to check in and buy bags. Was able to buy one bag but was given message that I must finish check in and bag purchase at the airport. Got to airport and was told second bag was $150 and not $25. Said I should have purchased online. Explained that in one web session I was able to purchase one bag but denied option to buy second. No help or explanation. Not a fan of Jetstar or their web site.

Pros: Super quick, clean, professional. I love Jetstar.

Cons: Charge for extra luggage was very high. Did not get a fare chance to book for baggage on booking and not clear that it would cosr more than a ticket to have baggage on flight. As to carry on bag, they let us take a bag on board and than took it of the aircraft saying it was too big, even thought there was lots of space for bags on cabin.

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: 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

Pros: Inflight magazine was just the right length for the flight time

Cons: Cookie was stale and coffee was nothing special... but that’s typical of all airlines

Pros: Attendants were friendly. The agent at the gate rerouted my flight after my initial flight was delayed. She explained she did that so that I could make my international connection in time.

Pros: Everything, felt safe

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Always the kiwi service

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: Super quick, clean, professional. I love Jetstar.

Pros: They charged us $200 baggage allowance when we got there. So much for booking my own flight. I was clueless on how their baggage fees work. Apparently you must pay for them BEFORE you get to the ticket counter. I will not fly with them again.

Pros: Flight was on time

Cons: we paid some NZ 200 to take luggage 38kg When I booked I did not realize that the allowance was 8kg only. The explanation for the high rate was that we should have informed Jetstar earlier. But.. how to change this when travelling ? This was the only nasty surprise during our 35 days stay in NZ Some warning on your website or lower rates are necessary regards Max

Pros: Nothing, never, ever go on Jetstar

Cons: No explanation, no time table, awful service.

Cons: Cost of checked baggage was very high.

Pros: Short flight time door-to-door. Leather seats were good.

Cons: The guy in front of me was slightly obnoxious. Flight was bumpy at times.

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

Pros: The initial price.

Cons: Jet star is a super cheap company. Everything is extra. We purchased extra baggage but didn't have a scale and we weighed over. Make sure to purchase the heavy side because it cost an arm and a leg. The lady at the desk didn't know the rules for fishing rods and almost made us pack them. Luckily we had just flown a different airline and knew we could carry them on. If you decide to change your flight it's cheaper just to purchase new tickets.

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: Crew and staff were nice.

Cons: Baggage fees are super expensive if you don't prepay. Can be as much as the flight itself. Be sure to prepay for your baggage!!

Pros: Price

Pros: Yes

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Is it possible to build in a way to tilt the seat bottom up at the front a bit so that when the back is reclined you don'get as sore a bum, and you don't slide forward as much. The seatback recline and headrest were very good.

Pros: Everything :)

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Inflight magazine was just the right length for the flight time

Cons: Cookie was stale and coffee was nothing special... but that’s typical of all airlines

Cons: Charge for extra luggage was very high. Did not get a fare chance to book for baggage on booking and not clear that it would cosr more than a ticket to have baggage on flight. As to carry on bag, they let us take a bag on board and than took it of the aircraft saying it was too big, even thought there was lots of space for bags on cabin.

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: The flight was ordinary, on time and okay service. There was no food or entertainment on this short flight.

Cons: We were charged an extra $140 to check our bags (2) because we had not indicated in advance that we had luggage to check. These were our only 2 bags (one each), not extra baggage. I don't think the contents were even worth $140. Will never flly JetStar again, and will tell fellow travelers to avoid this airline.

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: Nothing

Cons: No enough blankets when feeling cold

Pros: Legroom

Cons: Late

Pros: Attendants were friendly. The agent at the gate rerouted my flight after my initial flight was delayed. She explained she did that so that I could make my international connection in time.

Pros: Super quick, clean, professional. I love Jetstar.

Pros: We arrived to the airport 2.5 hours early which was too soon to check in. Instead of making us wait, the Jetstar attendant offered us an earlier flight. Very accommodating and thoughtful! Thanks so much Jetstar!

Cons: N/A

Cons: We had to be bussed from the terminal to our flight in both Auckland and Sydney which made the flight delayed and thus me having to run for my connecting flight.
