Travel alert information
Travel alerts can let you know the most up-to-date information about your flight.
We will send you a text message or email with your options, if your flight is going to be:
- Delayed by more than 20 minutes
- Changed to a different Air New Zealand flight
- Cancelled
If you're an Airpoints™ member, or selected to receive alerts when you booked, you're already set up.

The Air NZ mobile app can notify you of any flight changes as well. It can see your up-to-date seat and gate numbers, flight times and baggage allowance. It's the ideal travel companion.
