If your trip includes flights with other airlines, our baggage allowance might not apply. To learn more, see more in connecting flights below. Aside from seat only fares where you get carry-on only, all our fares include checked-in baggage.
Need more? You can add Prepaid Extra Bags and bring your checked baggage allowance up to a maximum total of three. If travelling with more than one carrier, please refer to the section when travelling on a ticket with more than one carrier. If you're connecting as part of a international journey, your international checked-in baggage allowance also applies for the domestic flight.
Members get a free extra bag on top of the standard allowance for their own fare not a family member's fare , except for Business and Seat fares. See Koru benefits for more details. Fast Bag is an extra benefit for Elite, Gold and Koru members, who can simply pick up their bag right beside the aircraft, on Air New Zealand regional domestic flights.
Each checked-in bag can weigh up to 23kg 50lb before incurring fees. Pay an excess baggage charge at the airport and get up to 32kg 70lb if there's space on the aircraft. The cheapest and surest option is to buy a Prepaid Extra Bag before your flight and repack. First, if your'e on a seat only fare you simply need to upgrade your booking to include checked-in baggage. Retrieve your booking to do this now.
If you've already got checked bags in your allowance but need more, you can buy a Prepaid Extra Bag online by retrieving your booking. They can be added up to 90 minutes before an international flight, or up to 30 minutes before domestic. Each passenger can have a maximum of 3 checked bags total. It's usually much cheaper to buy a prepaid bag than pay the excess baggage fees at the airport. If you wait too late, or your bag is overweight, see more about excess baggage fees.
