The Air New Zealand product is terrible, it's as expensive as a Jetstar ticket with add ons but with surely staff and old aircraft.

The Air New Zealand product is terrible, it's as expensive as a Jetstar ticket with add ons but with surely staff and old aircraft.

Please add more Bollywood movies and recent movies to the entertainment.

Kayak did not propagate my United miles account and I had to manually get credit.

Not a comfortable trip, the seats are not good, and they look old.

Everything was fine. Wish the wifi was free and included in the ticket price.

Sitting in an aisle seat equals getting hit by food cart and spilled on multiple times Food: gross and minimalistic Crew: frumpy and kurt Sound on multiple entertainment platforms poor Not an earplug problem, system soundboard poor

The flight attendances were very helpful and friendly ! Dinner and breakfast were great . The seat was not too comfortable though .

Crew were pleasant, happy to be there and were a joy to be around. Entire operation was professional, well thought out and ran like a Swiss clock.

Couldn’t request a vegan meal somehow but I noticed other people getting them

Good food and entertainment options. Great Staff that were all welcoming and caregiving.
