Find Cheap Flights from Christchurch to New Zealand

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

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.

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: On time

Cons: Nothing

Pros: crew was nice, seating was fine.

Cons: food was not great

Pros: Short flight. No problems.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great and attentive crew. Solid in-flight entertainment. Pilots got us to destination 20 mins early!

Cons: 1) It's pretty standard to offer a small toiletries pack (eg. Eyecover, toothbrush/paste, etc) on long-haul flights for other airlines. 2) Felt ripped off paying $50 for "preferred economy" seats that looked/felt identical to standard economy seats. Should be marketed as just priority boarding.

Pros: Wellington airport is the most accessible and relaxed I’ve used, and the Air New Zealand Check-in process was the easiest I’ve used so far.

Pros: Good cheap, no frills flight

Cons: Delayed, delayed, delayed, cancelled

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: 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: Friendly and efficient.

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

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.

Pros: Could get rebate by phone.

Cons: Were slow to let us know that flight was cancelled and that it could not be rescheduled for a few days. Had to personally book on another airline--missed two earlier flights on the other airline due to Jetstar's delay.

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

Cons: Delayed, delayed, delayed, cancelled

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

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: 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!

Pros: Great crew. Wine and cheese was nice.

Cons: Nothing. All good.

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: 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: 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: Ground staff and attendants were great!

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

Cons: Seats and aisles have become so small and tight.

Pros: The regional flights are nice and quick with no frills or complications. Everyone is in one cabin and you can quickly board using kiosks at the gate.

Cons: You might want to bring a book on this flight or something as their in-flight video and adverts are all you'll really see in terms of entertainment.

Cons: Preferred seats in economy class are very uncomfortable if your row is full. Long, miserable flight.

Cons: The boarding was inconvenient. LAX has just been updated. Gerri g a bus out to the tarmac is something I expect in Africa. Can Air NZ move to a different terminal?

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: 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: 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: 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: Extra leg room at front of plane.

Cons: Seats too narrow.

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.

Cons: $80 baggage fees for luggage over 7 kg. I wasn’t aware of high price and luggage weight restriction until I was at airport

Pros: Food, service, comfort was all very good.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: wasn't able to incline my seat...

Cons: being able to incline my seat...

Pros: Cabin crew was fantastic! Inflight experience was woderful.

Cons: Airport personnel were very unhelpful. When I asked them a question, they told me to come back later. I came back at the time they said to and they told me they don’t have time for me. I need to come back another time. I went to another gate agent and she told be to go downstairs to the check in counter for help. That would have taken 2 hours. I called customer service and they answered my question quickly. I just wanted to know if I would be charged a fee to change my flight.

Pros: everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: New Zealand Air staff were friendly, informative and courteous throughout the entire flight! I was floored by their service and by what was offered. They even worked to arrange for people to move around (some were packed 4 to a row, but there was plenty of space throughout the craft).

Cons: Very Slow meal service, had to ring for sparkling water when we had asked the attendant during the meal service. Took 20 minutes.

Pros: The plane was very comfortable. With decent leg room and nice seats. The in flight entertainment was excellent. As was the crews efficient and professional service. Top star

Pros: Everything was good except.....

Cons: The departure gate lounge for connecting flight to Vancouver was terrible.... very overcrowded, making for an unpleasant wait and boarding experience.

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: On time if not ahead of time

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The price is in good relation with the quality of service.

Cons: The attention of the flight coordinator was poor, is a gross person under pressure and with really bad manners

Pros: Flew on time with a new and comfortable plane.

Cons: Their electronics didn't work so boarding and having the passes scanned took a long time and created quite a hassle.

Cons: I should have been informed that I would not be allowed into the country without a return flight booked. Also it should have been more clear that I would have been charged nearly as much for my luggage as I paid for my flight. Not happy at all with buying through this app

Pros: Good cheap, no frills flight

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

Pros: New Zealand Air staff were friendly, informative and courteous throughout the entire flight! I was floored by their service and by what was offered. They even worked to arrange for people to move around (some were packed 4 to a row, but there was plenty of space throughout the craft).

Pros: We flew with Air New Zealand a few times during our trip and every flight was absolutely perfect. Staff was nice and helpful, the cabin was comfortable and everything from checking in to walking off the plane was easy.

Pros: The regional flights are nice and quick with no frills or complications. Everyone is in one cabin and you can quickly board using kiosks at the gate.

Cons: You might want to bring a book on this flight or something as their in-flight video and adverts are all you'll really see in terms of entertainment.

Pros: wasn't able to incline my seat...

Cons: being able to incline my seat...

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: 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???

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: 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

Cons: Had to pay for most movies. They need to bring around water more often and actually offer it to window seats rather than handing a glass to the aisle and walking off.

Pros: Airline is pretty good

Cons: I had a horrible experience booking with Kayak because normally I should be allowed two bags to check in but I was only allowed one because I booked through kayak.

Pros: Great and attentive crew. Solid in-flight entertainment. Pilots got us to destination 20 mins early!

Cons: 1) It's pretty standard to offer a small toiletries pack (eg. Eyecover, toothbrush/paste, etc) on long-haul flights for other airlines. 2) Felt ripped off paying $50 for "preferred economy" seats that looked/felt identical to standard economy seats. Should be marketed as just priority boarding.

Pros: Everything

Cons: I can’t be more demanding. Everything on the flight were good.

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

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

Pros: Price

Pros: short flight made seats less inportant

Cons: not the seats I selected in October

Pros: The crew was great. The seats were good but not as spacious as some other business class airline seats.

Cons: The TV screen interferes with the tray table and could knock off food from the table.

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

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,
