On Ground Services

Air New Zealand is looking to revolutionise its long-haul customers' travel experience with the introduction of an in-flight International Airline Concierge service - a first in the aviation industry. The airline will employ up to 90 concierge staff, who will be dedicated to making every customer journey before, during and after an Air New Zealand service a special event. International Airline Concierges will be a combination of travel advisers, disrupt managers, loyalty experts and destinational experts, focused on supporting every customer travelling with Air New Zealand. Their duties could include escorting passengers to and from the aircraft, recommending "must-do" Kiwi activities to tourists, assisting customers with onward bookings, supporting customers affected by a weather disruption, advising passengers on managing their Airpoints, or talking through the finer points of customers' in-flight wine selections. The new service will be launched from April next year, with the first international services to have concierges on board expected to include those between Auckland and Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and Hong Kong.

You are required to complete check-in at least 2 hours before your international flight is due to depart. However, due to increased security requirements on all flights operating to, through and from the USA, we recommended you allow at least 3 hours to complete your check-in at the following airports: Auckland, Nadi, London, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Apia and Tonga.

Lounges

Air New Zealand operates International Lounges in ten of the main destinations. Air New Zealand Lounges are available in: Auckland, Brisbane, Christchurch, Honolulu, London (Heathrow), Los Angeles, Melbourne, Nagoya, Nadi, Osaka (Kansai), Papeete, Perth, Rarotonga, Sydney, Tokyo (Narita) and Wellington. Air New Zealand has agreements with other lounge operators in most of the other destinations which will still allow you to relax away from the crowds. In addition to the Air New Zealand operated or contracted lounges, there are over 550 lounges around the world available to Star Alliance Gold customers and those travelling in First or Business Class on a Star Alliance carrier.
