What Air New Zealand can help with
We’re here to help you prepare for your trip. Air New Zealand can help with your travel needs before and during your journey, including accessible travel requests, mobility support, medical travel guidance, special meals, and travelling with children.
Some support may need to be arranged with the airport, a medical professional, another airline, or another service provider.
Check the guidance for your situation before you travel so you know what we can help with and what you may need to arrange separately.
