Air New Zealand simplifies regional offers

Air New Zealand has announced changes to short-haul booking options for flights across the Tasman and around the Pacific.

It says from June 11, a new offering named 'Seats to Suit', will simplify fare options and increase the 'essentials' all passengers receive.

Air NZ general manager short haul Jeremy O’Brien said the new 'seat fare' means travellers with no luggage pay only for a seat, while a checked bag will cost NZ$30.

All passengers will have access to full in-flight entertainment, a snack and tea, coffee, water and juice. Alcoholic drinks will be sold.

The fares also will include Worksflexi, Premiumflexi and Businessflexi, where change fees are waived when a customer alters a booking and only a fare difference is applied. 

Refundable fares also will be available.

Because all passengers will be offered a snack or meal on board, the airline will no longer allow people to buy 'in-flight bites' or buy vouchers at the airport for items on board.
