Airline reviews

- Many airports in Australia and New Zealand have no place to sit at the gate - Boarding was a little disorganized but pretty fast - Interesting food served on board. Why a New Zealand airline had 3 choices for lunch and 2 of them are Mexican and the last one was Macaroni and Cheese? - Flight Attendants are nice and helpful. - Neither of the USB charging ports for the two of us are working? Our phone drained of charge after 13+ hour flight so when landing we cannot call anybody for pickup. - Internet service was free, but connection was so bad that nothing seems to get through - Beside Internet, other entertainments were excellent

Not up to their standard . After checking in my bag and having made a tight connection off NZ 29, they tried to bump me off the flight at the gate. In they end I argued myself onto the plane but my bag followed on a later plane. After over 24 hours of flying and despite being an Air NZ Platinum card holder being put in this position was unnaceptable

I like Air NZ, but rather old plane seating in Premium Economy. Not very comfortable , nor very roomy.

More comfortable seats. Even after an hour of travel, they are very hard to sit on. Enforce the amount of stuff that travellers can carry on. Some have up to three bags and take over other passengers' overhead locker space.

Crew members are so courteous and easy to talk to. My flight ticket was expensive from Chicago to Rotorua at $2800 usd. Everything else is very nice!

We got to experience Premium Economy from Sydney to Auckland and it was a great experience wiht Air New Zealand. The crew was friendly and helpful.

Great first time experience with ANZ. Such a great customer service. The crew was very friendly and welcoming

Great first time experience with Air New Zealand and loved it. The flight crew was extremely friendly and provided great service.

Great airline service by the staff. I highly recommend it

Boarded on time, smooth flight and "gentle" landing in Palmerston North. Ahead of time due to a tailwind
