[Mowrer]

Checking in for an Air New Zealand flight is easy and offers several options to fit your needs. The most convenient way is to check in online or through the Air New Zealand mobile app. Online and mobile check-in opens 24 hours before your scheduled flight departure and closes 30 minutes before domestic flights and 90 minutes before international flights. During online check-in, you enter your booking details, select your seat, and receive a boarding pass which you can save on your phone or print at home. If you only have carry-on luggage, you can proceed directly to security after checking in online. However, if you have checked baggage, you must drop your bags at the airport baggage drop counter before the check-in closing time. If you prefer, you can check in at the airport using self-service kiosks available at many airports including Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. These kiosks allow you to check in, print boarding passes, and print baggage tags for your checked bags. After printing your baggage tags, attach them to your luggage and go to the bag drop area to leave your bags. For passengers who need extra help or have special requests, check-in counters staffed by airline personnel are available. These counters open a few hours before departure and close 30 minutes before domestic flights and 90 minutes before international flights. It is important to arrive at the airport early enough to complete check-in, drop your bags, and get through security. For domestic flights, it is recommended to arrive at least 90 minutes before departure, and for international flights, at least three hours before. If you are traveling with infants, require special assistance, or need to have travel documents verified such as visas, it is best to check in at the airport counter and allow extra time. Always bring valid identification and any required travel documents to avoid delays. By choosing the method that works best for you and arriving on time, you can make your check-in process smooth and stress-free. Whether online, through the app, at a kiosk, or the airport counter, following these steps will help you start your Air New Zealand journey comfortably and on time.
