Air New Zealand Cancellation Policy

If you cancel your booking before your flight departure, then Air New Zealand will pay an adult or child $300 as a cancellation fee. However, infant traveling has fully refundable tickets. If your flight got canceled, the keys are non-refundable, but you can use them for future Air New Zealand reservations. In the case of no-shows, you cannot use it for any alternative airline reservation or rebook for further travel. Air New Zealand has a 24-hour cancellation policy for getting a full refund. You should cancel it within 24 hours of initial purchase, and booking that ticket was made one week before departure.

Moreover, the airline charges $150, changing the fee for adults or children for economy reservations. Therefore, you can easily change your infant fare booking without additional cost. While if you want to change your reservation to an upper-class fare, no changing fee is applied. And all Air New Zealand tickets are not transferable to any other person.

Things to Remember 

1. Fees and restrictions may apply for cancellations.
2. Passengers can cancel online or through customer service.
3. Refund options include a refund to the original form of payment or a travel voucher.
4. It's recommended to cancel as early as possible to avoid fees or restrictions.

In the event of a flight cancellation due to weather, Air New Zealand will typically provide passengers with the following options:

Rebooking:

Passengers can be rebooked on the next available flight to their destination at no additional cost. The airline will try to accommodate passengers on the earliest available flight.

Air New Zealand Refund Policy

Air New Zealand provides a refund if your reservation is refundable or local legislation requests a refund when a flight is canceled. You can see whether your fare type is refundable through the receipt page in your E-ticket. The airlines provide rebates, and the law applies to/from/ within or via the US, regardless of country of residence or purchase. Therefore, you could request a refund if your Air New Zealand reservation was refundable. But, if you use any part of the ticket, it will be declared a non-refundable ticket. If you're purchasing a refundable fare through a credit, then any refund will be transferred in its original form that was used to purchase the refundable food. Moreover, if you pay any portion through credit, it will be returned in the condition of credit and can be used until it expires.
