Find Cheap Flights from Christchurch to New Zealand

Cons: Boarding

Pros: :)

Cons: :)

Pros: No drama.

Cons: Average service, too bad they are partnered/owned by Qantas

Pros: Entertainment and service was outstanding.

Cons: I could have used more leg room.

Pros: Everything

Cons: More food would have been better

Pros: Crew was okay. Nothing special but not bad.

Cons: The WiFi didn’t work! Don’t advertise it if it is not working. Even setting it up is far too much work/confusing.

Pros: The crew, as always, was fantastic. Very helpful and always kind. The seats are comfortable enough, considering it was a long flight, and the excellent entertainment helped the time pass quickly.

Cons: Didn't know about the low weight allowance for carry-on; glad you didn't weigh my bag ...

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.

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.

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: Always the kiwi service

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Pros: Everything :)

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Crew was excellent; responsive, cheery. The safety video was unique enough to have passengers pay attention (seldom seen onother airlines). We were impressed and will fly "Air All Blacks" again soon.

Cons: Online checkin presented problems, as did the kiosk checkin. Breakfast could have been served a little earlier -- I realize they wanted to give passengers sleep time and turbulence may have delayed service somewhat, too. Otherwise good.

Pros: The seat was super uncomfortable and they switched out flights 3 times so the layovers were extremely long.

Cons: Not switching our flights three times and not accommodating us like we had originally paid for.

Pros: Can’t remember

Cons: Food selection specially for vegetarian

Pros: Good quick flight

Cons: N/A

Pros: The space!

Cons: Food

Cons: Business class seats are too close together to accommodate recline. Results in a rude shock when the person in front of you reclines their seat.

Cons: Flight was delayed by 45 minutes due to **insert one of many excuses here** and then Jetstar misplaced my luggage ( I arrived at 3 pm into Melbourne and my luggage arrived 10.30pm so I spent one of my two nights waiting for the bag to show up)

Cons: The bowl of noodle in soup had no taste to it, breakfast sandwich wasn’t anything special. Pesto salad and butter chicken was good.

Pros: Crew were ok , but all looked like they had had a long day. Functional but not outstanding.

Cons: Late departing

Cons: Check-in was poor, the check-in clerk was rude.

Pros: Crew were awesome.

Cons: Free coffee as opposed to paying $4 for an ordinary coffee

Pros: For that price it was a great flight

Pros: The crew members were very nice and easy going.

Cons: The flight took off 25 minutes late. The boarding started later than it should have and took way too long. The airport was understaffed from the security point to the boarding point. That was surprising how in smooth both of those processes were based on seamless experiences at the same airport

Pros: Things generally went well on this flight; you never know what you're going to get, and this was successful- all went well!

Cons: Wasn't all that bad!

Cons: More leg room

Pros: crew were fantastic. stewardess called Stacy was wonderful; had to time to chat and sort out my diet problem (gluten free) in time for the return flight. i've flow on a variety of airlines over the years and, frankly, ANZ is by far the best for friendliness, efficiency and understanding. Big Thanks

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: Ground staff and attendants were great!

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

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: 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: 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: short flight made seats less inportant

Cons: not the seats I selected in October

Cons: You could have warned about the 2nd bag fee! I paid $80 for having a 2nd bag!

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.

Cons: Had to cancel trip because a passenger was hit by a car one week before the trip. Refused a refund by the airline.

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

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: 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 seats are comfortable. I was fortunate to have a gap in the middle seat. On my flight there was a delay due to a person needing to disembark before the flight took off. The flight dealt with the person inconsiderately and explained to everyone the reason for the delay.

Cons: Nothing. The flight was efficiently run and seats comfortable.

Pros: The crew was great but the seats were not.

Cons: Roomier seats and meals should be served a little bit closer in between

Pros: The crew was polite, efficient and prompt

Cons: The food quality needs improvement!

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

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

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!!!

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

Pros: Not a problem, anywhere. For a long day, that is appreciated.

Cons: Nothing. The flight was efficiently run and seats comfortable.

Pros: Sat in business class pods. Best flights we’ve ever taken !

Cons: Nothing

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

Pros: Crew was excellent; responsive, cheery. The safety video was unique enough to have passengers pay attention (seldom seen onother airlines). We were impressed and will fly "Air All Blacks" again soon.

Cons: Seats too narrow.

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: 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: 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 !!

Cons: Baggage process is dumb.

Pros: Not much

Cons: Everything

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: Can’t remember

Cons: Food selection specially for vegetarian

Pros: Air NZ sent my mom away when she arrived to board the plane because she could not hear well. This resulted in a 68 year old women spending the night at Heathrow. No apologies, no upgrades, nothing. Air New Zealand is a heartless discount airline. Terrible experience. Avoid.
