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

Pros: A little cramped on the domestic flight, but for the hour or so from Christchurch to Auckland, it was acceptable. I was impressed that ANZ did a quick meal service on this short flight. The crew was great - very friendly and efficient.

Cons: Close quarters between seats.

Pros: crew was nice, seating was fine.

Cons: food was not great

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

Pros: The usual "shuttle" flight between chc and akl.

Cons: Delayed, delayed, delayed, cancelled

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

Cons: Air New Zealand needs to manage double door boarding a little differently - a ticket checker needs to be at the split point - to streams of passengers trying to find their seat in opposite directions just doesn't work.

Cons: It ran a bit late

Pros: Flying Air NZ is a pleasure. You guys generally do a very good job. Even though the flight left late I was impressed with the Pilot announcement to allow connecting passengers to leave the plane first, and all others remain seated.

Cons: The flight left late, making it stressful to catch my connecting flight in Auckland.

Pros: Flying over the country of NZ.

Cons: Crying kids.

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

Pros: Carryon luggage is restricted to 7 kg. Conflicts with worldcstandards and then they apply it to foreigners, but not to Kiwis! They would not let me take on my roller bag, but many locals got to! 9

Cons: See above

Cons: Check in staff were rude.

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: 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: Good cheap, no frills flight

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.

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: 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: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Check in staff were rude.

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: it was a short and very smooth flight. all the flight attendants were excellent.

Cons: the flight we originally had booked got cancelled while we were in line to check our luggage. luckily we were 3 hours early for the flight and were able to catch a sooner flight.

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: 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.

Pros: Ground staff and attendants were great!

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

Pros: Check in people were great. Staff very cheerful thanks.

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: cheap fare

Cons: late departure due to APV malfunction, brisk service

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: 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: This fight was cancelled because of an engine problem. This is understandable and we know it happens. The problem was we had to book another flight immediately with another airline in order to make the other connecting flights to complete our trip home. Jetstar only was going to refund the amount of the cost for their flight and not the difference for a new flight as well. The new flight with New Zealand air cost us double what our original flight with Jetstar cost. We incurred an additional unplanned cost of over $1000. We would like to be reimbursed for the additional costs! We feel like this is the responsibility of Jetstar to its customers.

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: 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: 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: Everything, felt safe

Cons: Nothing

Pros: A little cramped on the domestic flight, but for the hour or so from Christchurch to Auckland, it was acceptable. I was impressed that ANZ did a quick meal service on this short flight. The crew was great - very friendly and efficient.

Cons: Close quarters between seats.

Pros: Always the kiwi service

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: Anything I liked has been ruined by the baggage fees. I am expecting to be reimbursed and look forward to some contact from a company representative.

Cons: The price of the flight advertised clearly stated that there were no baggage fees, it was written as £0 after the words 'baggage fees', so I was clearly surprised to be asked to pay $70 upon arrival at the airport from my baggage. Would someone like to explain this? I will be taking this up with the senior partners at your company as I feel this is complete miss advertising. The fact that you can state zero fees and then expect customers to pay extra is RIDICULOUS!!! I WILL NEVER BE USING THIS COMPANY AGAIN, EVEN IF THE PRICE IS CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN A COMPETITOR.

Pros: Nothing, never, ever go on Jetstar

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

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.

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: short flight made seats less inportant

Cons: not the seats I selected in October

Pros: The plane was very comfortable, food was excellent and everything in worked well. Crew was very helpful and got you anything you needed.

Cons: Entertainment and seat comfort

Pros: Flying Air NZ is a pleasure. You guys generally do a very good job. Even though the flight left late I was impressed with the Pilot announcement to allow connecting passengers to leave the plane first, and all others remain seated.

Pros: the crew were awesome, the food okay, it's the first time I've been able to say exellent to flying with air new Zealand today, the past trips have been stinkers, there crew really bad, they put us off flying with my own country's airline so sad, the first leg was cancelled because the flight got in late, with no txt or any warning before we got to the gate, so maybe we will just try them again, because this last trip from Christchurch has eased some of the past pain

Cons: The baggage handlers destoyed my case, there the same the world over because of the furious pace, they don't care for your posesions weather there precious or not, this is the real sad point when ones flying a lot,

Pros: Legroom

Cons: Late

Cons: They need to bring around water more often. And actually offer it to people in the window seat.

Cons: It ran a bit late
