The chicken dish was okay but kind of weird unlike the chicken penne on my trip home which was delicious.

Very Good|Oct 2026
Long haul flight. Would have helped if they gave the both boarding passes, ie include connection- all within the international transit area in Auckland (ie home base) ... all my other recent (non AIR NZ) long haul flights companies managed to do achieve this smoothness...AIR NZ office was shut in very early hours of arrival. Not useful. However: Overall decent experience.

Okay|Aug 2026
All good. Problem was delay caused by weather in Houston creating anxiety about my AirNZ connection. Nothing that United could do about that, and in fairness th captain kept us very well informed
