Air New Zealand Baggage Policy is determined by your fare type, route, and frequent flyer status, so always verify your specific allowance using your booking reference. For carry-on baggage, all passengers are generally permitted one standard bag (max 7kg, 55x35x20cm) plus one personal item like a handbag or laptop bag. Passengers in Premium Economy, Business Premier, and those with Gold or Platinum frequent flyer status enjoy a more generous carry-on allowance, often allowing a heavier bag (up to 10kg) and sometimes a second smaller item. Checked baggage allowances differ significantly: domestic flights within New Zealand typically include one checked bag (max 23kg) in most fare types, while international routes generally follow a piece system. Standard International Economy fares usually include one checked bag (max 23kg), Business Premier includes two or three bags (max 32kg each), and some promotional fares may not include any checked baggage. Exceeding your free allowance incurs fees, which are considerably cheaper when purchased online in advance rather than at the airport. The airline also has specific rules for infants, sports equipment (like surfboards or golf clubs), musical instruments, and oversized or overweight items, each attracting different fees and requiring prior arrangement. Frequent flyer members (Silver, Gold, Platinum) receive enhanced baggage benefits, including extra weight or additional bags. To avoid surprises, always verify your exact allowance using your booking reference on the official Air New Zealand website before you travel, as policies can change.
