Fast Bag

Fast Bag is a service available exclusively to Airpoints™ Elite, Gold, Elite Partner and Koru members. Pick up your checked bag right beside the aircraft on Air New Zealand regional domestic flights.

In June 2021, we made some changes to Fast Bag and it's important to know what's different.

Updated November 2021.
