Important information
We'd like to remind you that on board is an open space so please use your judgment when viewing content that might also be seen by a child seated near you. Some of our content is not suitable for all ages. The content of the movies on board has been classified according to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or equivalent.
A parental lock is also available. Air New Zealand will not be responsible for unauthorised access of age-restricted programmes. Because the viewing of programmes on other passenger's screens in the cabin cannot be prevented, Air New Zealand accepts no responsibility for any footage or audio viewed or heard.

Seat Chat
Seat Chat lets you message and chat with friends and family members on board your flight, without leaving your seat.
New Zealand domestic flights
Passengers receive a free "Kia Ora" magazine, a monthly publication covering travel, sport, business and lifestyle, on all domestic flights. An inflight quiz is also available through the entertainment system on domestic jet services. You can bring on board your own entertainment such as books, magazines, portable video or gaming devices. Just make sure they meet our safety and size requirements and don't interfere with the comfort of other passengers.
* Some seats have monitors stowed in the arm of their seat rather than the back of the seat in front of them. For safety reasons, these monitors must be stowed for taxi, take-off and landing. This means you can still listen to music during these times of the flights, but as your monitor needs to be stowed, you won't be able to watch a movie, etc., until crew advise your screen can be deployed.
