Fast Bag

Fast Bag is a service available exclusively to Airpoints™ Elite, Gold, Elite Partner and Koru members. Pick up your checked bag right beside the aircraft on Air New Zealand regional domestic flights.

How it works

You can check in with the Air NZ app, online, at a check-in kiosk, or at the airport counter.

When you arrive at the airport you will need to check in your Fast Bag.

At the check-in kiosk, select Fast Bag and attach the printed bag tag to your bag. If you're checking in at the airport counter, let one of our team know that you have a Fast Bag.

After your flight arrives at your destination you can collect your bag from the Fast Bag collection area as you exit the aircraft.

Once your bag has been tagged, it needs to be on the bag drop before this closes - 30 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time.

When can you use Fast Bag?

Fast Bag is a regional travel benefit exclusively available to our Airpoints™ Elite, Gold, Elite Partner and Koru members only.

You can use Fast Bag on regional flights (flight numbers NZ5000-NZ5999 and NZ8000-NZ8999 flown by the Q300 and ATR aircraft).

  • Your bag weighs less than 15kg and is not oversized (such as bikes or golf bags)
