I've got a flight booked with Air New Zealand that is described as operated by United Airlines. As I understand it, I'm a customer of Air NZ and they've essentially sub contracted the flight to United. Does anyone know whose baggage rules will apply Air NZ or United?
The baggage I'm interested in taking is a surfboard if that makes nay difference....
Ask Air NZ and get an email reply. STW said this won't cut it at check in, enjoy the surf!
Ask the airline, but Googling suggests a size of 2.77m max - probably to fit in a standard air cargo bin - most airports/airlines work on standard sizes for luggage
As above ask the airline!
Typically its the operating airlines rules that are in force (and also the smallest limits when multiple flights involved).
Yeah, fair point, getting an answer from the airline ain't easy tho!
Generally it is the rules of the operating carrier of the longest leg, under IATA rules for the 'most significant carrier'. But if the flight is a code share it can be the marketing airlines rules. Or if the flight origin or end point is the US it comes under DOT rules. So yes, it is best to call ANZ and confirm which airline's rules, for outbound and return.
United metal, United rules. ANZ just codeshare with them.
You'll be charged per leg, so getting on for £400 return.itll also get battered unless it's a libtech. I'd just buy one when you're there
