Find Cheap Flights from Queenstown to New Zealand

Pros: I checked in online and wasn't able to add my bags to my reservation, so figured I would do it when I got to the airport. Big mistake. It cost me NZ$ 215 to heck my two bags (one was admittedly heavy, but that is still an insane amount). I knew I would have to pay for bags but more money because of something that I was unable to adress is absurd.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Having to pay for checked baggage when other people got on with more baggage than me. It’s a scam.

Pros: Very efficient boarding

Cons: Not made for talk people

Pros: Excellent crew

Pros: Best flight I’ve been on

Pros: good entertainment

Cons: we purchased a sky couch for an extra $700 and was not put in a skycouch row. I have contacted Air New Zealand and have yet to hear back from them.

Pros: Amazing crew

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: Great flight. Would have been nice to have on board wifi.

Pros: Pleasant staff

Cons: A few more beverage options, juices perhaps.

Pros: I was sitting in an exit row with tons of space. The men flight attendants were fantastic! On moved two boxes and we were able to prop our feet up. They were so attentive to us I felt as if I was in first class!

Pros: Strong crew service is the highlight of flying Air New Zealand. Plane comfort is good, with nice ambient lighting, decent seats and reasonably spacious toilets. At least for now, they have in-seat entertainment screens with lots of current offerings. Our flight had free wi-fi, a real plus.

Cons: Boarding with Air New Zealand at Heathrow was complex and poorly organised when compared to the smooth and efficient process at LAX. This has been the case each time I have flown this same route with this airline.

Pros: The plane was great!

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: Friendly crew

Cons: Crumbs still on my seat when I boarded

Pros: Pleasant staff

Cons: A few more beverage options, juices perhaps.

Cons: Arbitrary singling out of passengers for baggage weight violations when majority of carry-on bags weren't to regulation for most passengers. Exorbitant fees for checking bags at gate.

Cons: They have a baggage racket where they trick you in to checking your luggage at the airport to charge you $70NZD at the counter not to mention the staff are less than helpful. Also, the seats are so thin you can feel the person behind you breath. I'd give it zero starts if I could.

Pros: Good coffee

Cons: A better selection of movies

Pros: Easy booking

Cons: Maybe

Pros: quick boarding options.

Cons: No snacks or drink options. Also I think paying for luggage is a lot more than it should be, especially if not done ahead of time. Seats are not that comfortable.

Cons: The delay of 2 1/2 hours created havoc and proved to be very expensive for me. El write a letter on this in a couple of days.

Cons: I made a mistake on booking. Called them immediately. Not the least bit helpful of sympathetic. Ridiculous baggage policy and charges. Will avoid this airline in the future unless it's an emergency.

Cons: Our departure was 30 minutes late.

Pros: Staff friendly and helpful

Cons: My seat 57E could not be adjusted but half way through the flight was given another seat and managed to get some sleep. In our experience Air New Zealand is tops.

Cons: Long distance from arrival gate to departure gate

Pros: My first experience with Air New Zealand was wonderful! I will definitely fly with them again!

Pros: It was a direct flight to Vancouver which was great in that I didn't have to change planes.

Cons: I felt claustrophobic as if a was in a can of sardines, but to my relief I found a light sleeping pill in my handbag and was able to feel relaxed. I am not overweight but felt it was very difficult to reach for my handbag on the floor. As I said, in all seriousness, there was not an inch of space to move without saying excuse me to the person beside me. I must add that whoever made the rules for seating space between the rows on the aircraft must have been paid off heavily. The flight attendants were great.

Cons: Great flight. Would have been nice to have on board wifi.

Pros: The flight attendants were friendly and seemed to enjoy their job. Appeared to be very accommodating for other passengers.

Cons: No issues. Everything was great!

Pros: Short & sweet flight, especially since a local delicious cookie was provided.

Cons: Boarding was a bit of a pain in the rear. They won't let you go through security till about 30 min before your flight, so things feel a bit rushed and they take their carry-on bag weight limits very seriously. I ended up wearing two jackets to make the cut off. There was no entertainment available, but on my next Air New Zealand flight (much longer flight) the entertainment was more than abundant and great!

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: That is was a cheap flight

Cons: The baggage fees were ridiculously pricey! As travelers coming from the States with an infant, we did not know at the time how many bags we would check though we knew it would be at least 1. Unlike flights in the States that we are used to, if you did not specify that you would check a bag at the time of purchase ( we purchased 1 month in advance!), what would normally cost you maybe $40 cost us $140! For this reason, we will either not recommend this flight or warn our friends if they insist on flying Jetstar. Also, the leg room was horrible on the flight/

Pros: Courteous staff from checking in to departure. Flight was short but on time and smooth. Perfect!

Cons: Small walkway and seats.

Cons: They have a baggage racket where they trick you in to checking your luggage at the airport to charge you $70NZD at the counter not to mention the staff are less than helpful. Also, the seats are so thin you can feel the person behind you breath. I'd give it zero starts if I could.

Pros: The flight attendants were friendly and seemed to enjoy their job. Appeared to be very accommodating for other passengers.

Cons: No issues. Everything was great!

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 wonderful again. This time I had an aisle seat in the center section and it was much more comfortable. The food was vegetarian and quite good.

Cons: No complaints!

Cons: Generally ok for econ

Pros: Did not pester us about overweight luggage although we had paid for 40kgs and were about 45 kgs overall. Also our hand luggage was reasonably heavy.

Cons: No priority boarding for small children. Delayed departure with no clear communication.

Cons: Small walkway and seats.

Pros: We selected this flight with no knowledge of this airline, as we were coming from the states. Being international traveling for three weeks obviously we had some luggage with us. This domestic flight does not allow any free check in, and you are only allowed 7 kg as a carry-on. You also have to pre-pay for your check in baggage before you get to the airport otherwise you are charged three times the price. If you don't know all of this before you go, you will be in big trouble. I do not recommend this airline for international travelers.

Cons: We were charged $215 at check in to check our luggage because we hadn't "ticked" that we'd be bringing luggage when we purchased our tickets. We purchased our tickets on Kayak and never were we warned or even been informed that this would be the case. The fee for baggage turned out to be $70 per bag plus $15 per Kg for each Kg over 15 Kg. Which is absurd. Any regular flight allows bag up to 23 Kg before additional charges. This is extortion. Yet there was nothing we could do unless we wanted to leave our bags in Queenstown.

Cons: Flight delayed 3+ hours

Pros: Very efficient boarding

Cons: Not made for talk people

Pros: Price

Cons: Time

Pros: Crew very helpful thanks. A bit rough to have to pay 4 baggage in top of paying 4 flight.On international flights, yr baggage is included in the price .

Pros: Food was reasonable and staff as amazing as ever.

Cons: The flight was extremely packed making the experience a bit less comfortable. The transit through LA was chaos, although and explanation was given including an apology.

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: All good

Cons: It was very cold so the cabin could have been warmer

Pros: crew was nice, seating was fine.

Cons: food was not great

Pros: Seat hard on older aircraft, needs new cushioning on seat

Pros: Staff friendly and helpful

Cons: My seat 57E could not be adjusted but half way through the flight was given another seat and managed to get some sleep. In our experience Air New Zealand is tops.

Pros: Fantastic crew!

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: Easy boarding in Queenstown and the flight staff was friendly and helpfull.

Cons: Thier bag fees are outragous. It was extreemly difficult to find thier allowances online and we ended up paying more than our ticket price to check our bags. If it was more clear what the fees are, we would not have chosen Jetstar. I would recomend going with New Zealand Air over Jetstar hands down.

Pros: Plane landed safely at destination. That's the only good thing I can say.

Cons: Baggage fee not made clear when booking. Because we did not prepay, had to spend way more than the cost of ticket to check bags. And you can't even get a free cup of water on plane - that comes with a cost too! Will never fly Jetstar again.

Pros: Did not pester us about overweight luggage although we had paid for 40kgs and were about 45 kgs overall. Also our hand luggage was reasonably heavy.

Cons: No priority boarding for small children. Delayed departure with no clear communication.

Pros: Flight was on time.

Cons: $$ for a beverage. Expensive baggage fees

Cons: Jetstar is always a little subpar. food and drink are not included even though it's international and the food for purchase was not very good anyhow. Entertainment was also extra and the selection was poor. flights were delayed and rerouted. They got us there, but with no frills at all.

Pros: It was clean and spacious.

Cons: I wish entertainment and/or snacks were provided.

Pros: Older plane with uncomfortable seat

Cons: The seat on the plane was old and uncomfortable

Pros: Aircraft had a device holder. Good idea!

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: Very efficient trip.

Cons: One flight attendant was subdued and not too bubbly.

Pros: good entertainment

Cons: we purchased a sky couch for an extra $700 and was not put in a skycouch row. I have contacted Air New Zealand and have yet to hear back from them.

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.
