The following excess baggage rates apply for departures from the United States.
The charges stated below apply only to Air New Zealand operated flights and when Air New Zealand allowances and charges apply on other airlines. Refer to Excess Baggage Charges for more details about when Air New Zealand allowances and charges apply.
If your flight is operated by an Air New Zealand partner airline and Air New Zealand baggage allowances and charges do not apply, please check with the airline operating the service for details.
