On Ground Services

Air New Zealand recommends you have completed 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. 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.

Premium Economy Class Seat

Pacific Premium Economy, an exclusive class of travel that sits between Business Premier and Pacific Economy. Pacific Premium Economy is available on 747 aircraft and 777 aircraft on our long-haul routes. On 747 aircraft the Pacific Premium Economy cabin is on both the upper deck and main deck. On our 777 aircraft it is positioned between Business Premier and Pacific Economy. Enjoy more legroom with the largest seat pitch in its class (38-40"). Lean back and relax with 50% more recline than Pacific Economy. Each seat has a full leg rest and foot bar, so you can put your feet up. In-seat power is available in most seats, which accepts most common connector plugs without the need for an adaptor.

Air New Zealand is to increase the number of Pacific Premium Economy seats on its B747 fleet a second time, following continued strong customer demand for the newly revamped product. Similar to the first Premium Economy expansion last October, the airline's fleet of eight B747 aircraft will be reconfigured to replace 15 standard Economy seats on the lower deck with eight Premium Economy seats. The work is scheduled for completion by the end of October 2007. The second expansion will increase the total number of Premium Economy seats on B747 flights to 39, up from 23 seats at launch.
