The Air New Zealand Baggage Policy is intended to provide passengers in all cabin classes with clarity and convenience. Most travelers are allowed to bring one cabin bag and one small personal item for carry-on, though the weight and size restrictions differ depending on the kind of ticket. The amount of checked baggage is determined on the kind of ticket purchased; generally speaking, Business Premier, Premium Economy, The Works, and Seat + Bag all include at least one checked bag. Every item that is checked must adhere to the regular weight and dimension restrictions; overweight or excess bags will incur additional costs. Members of Airpoints Elite, Gold, and Star Alliance Gold may be eligible for additional benefits. Before departing, passengers should examine any particular instructions pertaining to special items, infants, sports equipment, or mobility assistance. Online prepayment for additional baggage frequently results in cost savings over airport fees. A smooth journey can be ensured and delays and additional expenses can be avoided by being aware of Air New Zealand's baggage policies beforehand.
