Bassinets/Cots

On international fights, bassinets may be installed on Air New Zealand Boeing 747, 777 and 767 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Currently there are no facilities for bassinets on board B737 aircraft. These bassinets are designed for infants of average size up to 8 months old. The bassinets are made up with sheets, a pillow and blankets.

There are only a limited number of bassinet positions on any aircraft so it is important to request a bassinet seat when making your booking. If you are travelling Business Class on an A320 aircraft, please be aware that currently there are no facilities for bassinets. Please note that because the bassinets are designed for infants up to 8 months old (and weighing a maximum of 11.8kgs/26lbs), pre-allocation of bassinet seats is only available for infants up to that age on a first come, first served basis. If you are travelling with an infant aged between 8 months and 15 months (and weighing a maximum of 11.8kgs/26lbs), a bassinet seat may be allocated to you if one is available at the time you check in on the day of travel.
