| BAGGAGE |
| Baggage can be classified in two ways:
checked in baggage, which is stowed in the aircraft's hold and cabin
baggage, which you may carry with you onto the aircraft.
For obvious reasons, there are limits on the
amount and weight of luggage each passenger can bring on a flight. These
limits vary depending on which country you are travelling to.
If you are travelling to or from the USA, US
Territories and Canada, or between New Zealand and Germany or the United
Kingdom via North America, your baggage allowance will be based on size.
You are allowed two pieces of baggage per person, neither of which may
exceed a total dimension (length + width + height) of 158cm (62in). Within
this size allowance, neither piece may exceed 32kg in weight. If you are
travelling Pacific Class the combined dimension of both pieces of baggage
must not be greater than 272cm (107in) with the largest piece not
exceeding 158cm (62in).
On all other international journeys
your baggage allowance is based on weight.
- Economy Class - 20 kilos; Business
- Class - 30 kilos; First Class - 40 kilos.
- No single piece may exceed 32kg.
CABIN BAGGAGE |
| As well as your main baggage, you can
also take one item of baggage with overall dimensions no greater than
115cm onto the aircraft. The bag must be able to fit under the seat in
front of you, and must not weigh more than 5kg.
First Class and Business Class passengers may
carry two bags, neither of which may exceed 115cm, or 5kg in weight.
GROUP OR FAMILY BAGGAGE |
| A group of people travelling together
can 'pool' their baggage to take advantage of any free collective
allowances. If you do this, you will all need to be at the airport at the
same time with your baggage.
OVERWEIGHT AND UN-ACCOMPANIED BAGGAGE |
| When you check in for your flight,
your baggage is weighed. If it is overweight it will normally still be
allowed on the plane, but you will be charged at a set rate for the amount
by which it exceeds your free allowance.
One way to carry more baggage than your free
allowance, while avoiding excess baggage charges, is to send any clothes
and personal items as cargo before you depart yourself, for which you'll
pay a lower rate. However, items sent this way won't necessarily travel on
the same aircraft as you.
WHAT GOODS CAN BE USED AND CARRIED ON
BOARD? |
| Electronic equipment
Modern aircraft are fitted with sensitive
electronic equipment which can be affected by some types of electronic
equipment carried by passengers. For this reason, restrictions on the type
of equipment you may bring on board apply.
The following portable electronic devices may
be used on the aircraft at any time:
- portable voice recorders (hand held units
powered by dry cell batteries)
- hearing aids
- heart pacemakers
- electric shavers
- watches
- hand held calculators without printer
Self-contained personal life support systems that
use non-spill batteries, including nebulisers, monitors and similar may
also be used when the passenger has prior medical clearance from Air New
Zealand.
The following may be used after take-off and
before landing, when the seatbelt sign is off:
- portable computers
- portable electric typewriters
- hand held calculators with printer
- portable video recorders and cameras
- portable radios and televisions with
headphones
- walkman disc players
- hand-held electronic games
The following may be used only with prior
approval from Air New Zealand:
- life support equipment which is not
self-contained
- equipment containing dangerous chemicals such
as mercury or acid devices that require a separate battery or power
source
- portable radio transmitting devices and radio
control systems (eg; radio-controlled cars)
- anything not specifically covered in the
previous sections
Mobile cellular phones must not be used on board
at any time as they may interfere with the aircraft's own electronic
navigation equipment. Please ensure they remain switched off.
Please check with your travel agent or Air New
Zealand Travelcentre when you book your flight if you are unsure whether
the equipment you intend taking is permitted on the aircraft.
Dangerous Goods |
| For your own safety, international
regulatory authorities have placed certain restrictions or prohibitions on
the carriage of dangerous goods, whether these be stowed in checked
baggage, cabin baggage, or on your person. These include briefcases with
alarm devices; gases (including Camping Gas); corrosives such as mercury
wet cell batteries; explosives such as fireworks and flares; flammable
liquids such as lighter fuel; flammable solids such as fire lighters and
matches; oxidising substances such as bleaching powder; poisonous and
infectious substances; radioactive materials and magnetised materials.
You can carry perfumes, hairsprays and any
alcohol-containing medicines necessary during the journey in limited
quantities.
If you are unsure whether you can take something
on the aircraft, ask your travel agent or Air New Zealand Travelcentre. |
