Excess baggage

There are three types of excess baggage that will incur fees:

• Extra bags or items not already covered by your baggage allowance
• Any item that weighs over 23kg (50lb) and under 32kg (70lb)
• Any item that's larger than our size limits

If your bag weighs more than 32kg (70lb), you may be able to send it as unaccompanied baggage on international flights departing from Wellington and Christchurch.

Fees apply to each oversize item, in addition to any extra bag fees.

An item that's both heavy and large only pays one oversize fee.

If you're changing airlines on your journey, you'll need to pay additional excess baggage fees at each changeover point.

Any piece of checked baggage that weighs over 23kg but under 32kg or exceeds the total linear dimensions (length+width+height) of 158cm (62″) will be subject to an overweight/oversize charge. You can read more on oversized items that require special handling.

The fees vary depending on your point of departure, please refer to this table for excess baggage fees from Asia. For journey on more than one airline, you may have to pay that airline's excess baggage fees as well.
