International Rules

Long-haul Economy allows 1 checked bag (23 kg). Flights to Honolulu, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei, and Australia to USA/Canada allow 2 checked bags in Economy.

Tips to Avoid Fees

1. Pre-purchase extra bags online up to 90 mins before international flights to save over 50%. 2. Join Koru or Star Alliance Gold for an extra free checked bag. 3. Buy 'Seat + Bag' upfront instead of adding a bag later to a 'Seat Only' fare. 4. Repack heavy items into your personal item to keep carry-on under the strict 7kg limit.

Unique Nuances

Air New Zealand strictly enforces a 7kg carry-on weight limit and frequently weighs bags at the gate. They offer a unique 'Seat Only' fare on international routes that includes no checked bags. Koru members get an extra checked bag up to a maximum of 3 pieces.

Why Camli Finds Cheaper Flights

Camli is an IATA-accredited consolidator that purchases airline seats in bulk at wholesale rates. These fares are not published on metasearch engines like Google Flights or OTAs like Expedia. Our average fare is 47% below published prices across all tracked routes.

How Consolidator Fares Work
