Traveller details

Should I enter passport names if my traveller is only travelling domestically?

Yes. We recommend entering passport names for all air travel. Not only is it a legal requirement, these could be linked to a Koru membership or frequent flyer programmes that are set up with passport names.

Whose phone number should I enter into the booking?

Please enter the primary traveller's mobile number. In the case of disrupt, this will enable the passenger in question to be contacted directly.

Do I need to complete the Airpoints Membership field?

The Airpoints membership field is not mandatory and while you may not be eligible to earn Airpoints, travellers will continue to earn status points. If Airpoints members are Koru, Gold or Elite members, it's important their Airpoints number is entered for access to Koru or partner airline lounges.

Do I have to enter passport details in for an international booking?

This is not mandatory. However, efficiencies will be gained by completing these prior to travel. If you do not have the passport details with you while making the booking, you can add the passport details at a later date (prior to travel commencing), by clicking on the "Add Passport Details" link at the bottom of the online page.

If you do not enter any passport details prior to your traveller's first flight, then these details will need to be collected at the airport.

Do I have to enter a Cost Centre?

If I make changes to the Traveller Details page will they save for the next time I book travel?

Any changes you make in the Traveller Detail page will save as the default for the next time you make a booking for that traveller.

How do I know who the Travel Approver should be?

Please contact the person within your government agency who manages the Travel contract. This person will advise who the nominated Travel Approvers are or, provide you with an allocated email address to be used.

If the Travel Approver is away, can I change the email address?

Yes. It is recommended that you check with the Travel contact within your government agency as to the preferred process for when a Travel Approver is away. The Travel Approver email address cannot be the same as the Travel Arranger or Traveller. Changing the Travel approver e-mail address in this screen will store and save it in the Traveller Details for future bookings.

Can I request seats?

You can request seats for most Air New Zealand travellers. Regardless of whether you've made a new booking, or have a booking that was made some time ago, you can request seats online. This can be processed any time prior to your flight if the type of fare you have purchased, or your membership status, allows you to.

Please note that whilst we do our best to accommodate all seat requests, these can only be confirmed at check-in due to operational requirements. Seat requests are not available for seat only or seat+bag Tasman and Pacific bookings.

How do I request seats?

Once your booking has been completed, the confirmation email that is sent to you will include a link to make a seat request. Alternatively, there is a link at the bottom of any of the AOG portal pages.

How do I change a booking I made online?

Domestic and International bookings can be changed online. Changes can be made to all or part of your booking. You may change the date and time but not your origin, destination or names of travellers. Any changes made apply to all passengers in the same booking. The booking can be retrieved either from the link in the footer area on the AOG portal, from the manage bookings section on the Air New Zealand website or from the online tools links on the email received with the Electronic Ticket.
