Carry on luggage - Air New Zealand?

Noragrets on 26/05/2014 - 02:39

I am traveling to NZ on Tuesday and am only taking carry on luggage. I have booked a flight where I am able to take 1 checked piece but didn't want to take so much stuff.

I have my small suitcase for carry on but was wondering if I could take a small backpack plus a handbag on board as well? my friend seems to think she does it all the time but I'm not sure after reading through forums if it is possible.

so I would have one suitcase, backpack and handbag.

If it's not possible to take 3 things on board can i check in the small suitcase and just take the rest on the plane?

I'm new to this sorry haha but anyone have any ideas on how I can take all 3 items?

Thanks.

    I flew Air New Zealand a few weeks ago to Auckland. Took carry-on only. Had my Osprey Porter 46 bag and a belkin 14" laptop satchel, was not an issue, although they did weigh my main carry-on luggage (haven't had that happen for a while).

    I think you would raise the ire of our friendly neighbours if you tried to take all three items on. You could of course check in the small suitcase, but only if you bought check-in luggage when buying your ticket (Air NZ follows the Virgin model in this regard).

    Enjoy your trip - NZ is beautiful - wish I was still there haha.

    Haha new zealand is amazing! went last year in august and fell in love. luckily I have friends over there so it's not to expensive lol

    I do have checked luggage so I think I'll just check in the smaller suitcase and take the backpack on with me. The suitcase is 10+ kg already so it's the only option I have atm lol

    thanks for replying!

      I would check the small suitcase, flew to NZ last year and I had trouble finding space for my single backpack, wouldn't want to deal with 3 things to find space for.

    think that's what I'll do. just didn't want to have to go through the whole check in then wait for suitcase in nz process. But better than dealing with the drama of taking 3 things. have never flown with air nz before. only China airlines which I took two carry on items for last time.
    Thanks :)
