      Does NZ Air offer extra luggage allowance?

      Anyone know if Zew Zealand Air offers the extra luggage allowance for PR visa holders, without the extra charges? Also, are there any other airlines that offer it other than Singapore and Emirates?

      It's 46kg per person with Air New Zealand, i.e. 2 bags at 23kg each, but only if you fly via Los Angeles. If you go via Hong Kong it is only 20kg per person. Both os these apply in economy and premium economy, business class obviously has a higher allowance.

      I've rung and spoken with them ahead of flights...unfortunately they are inflexible.
