Air New Zealand (Airline Review 6)

This is part one of two

So Air New Zealand is a airline that people don’t really talk about. They do all kinds of flights. They have very short hops between towns along with very not short hops across the Pacific ocean. We have flown them a few times on short flights.

Seats

I honestly had enough legroom when we flew on their A320’s. There was also enough space under the seat in front of me for my relatively large carry on. Air New Zealand does operate some smaller turboprops but we have not flown on them.

In-flight Entertainment

As far as I know Air New Zealand does not have in flight entertainment in any of its short haul aircraft. (Or at least we never had in flight entertainment when we flew with them)

Food

Our flights were both about a hour long so they had some pretty good free cookies and snacks

Landings

Air New Zealand honestly has some good landings for the type of airports they fly into. The one thing that wasn’t smooth was the approaches through mountains but there is really nothing they can do about it

Coming Up In Part 2

At the time of me writing this we have only flown on Air New Zealand and short haul flights the A320. We will soon fly on a approximately 16 hour flight on what is scheduled to be a Boeing 787 Dreamliner which I am looking forward to.
