Air New Zealand will accept your bike free of charge as part of your regular free checked baggage allowance, in place of a regular suitcase. This is as long as your bike case is less than 2.00 meters long, and weighs less than 23 kg / 50 lbs.
If your bike box is brought as an extra item in addition to your suitcases, you will have to pay the regular Extra Bag fee, as if it were an extra suitcase. [AMZ asins='B00JEILGMK,B00FRG7Q7W,B018FF6EV0,B00FNSS6QY']
If your bike weighs more than 23 kg / 50 lbs, Air New Zealand's standard Overweight Baggage fee will apply, up to a maximum weight of 32 kg / 70 lbs. If your bike box is longer than 2.00 m in length, for example a recumbent or tandem bike, an Oversize Baggage fee will also apply, up to a maximum length of 2.50 meters.
When packing your bike, you must ensure that your handle bars and pedals are removed or turned sideways. The bike's struts must have a pressure less htan 200 kPa or 29 PSI. Tire inflation cartridges are limited to a maximum of 50 ml, and must be non-flammable.
Be sure to label the box clearly with your name and contact info, and ensure that nothing is protruding out of the box.
Note: Some size restrictions apply if flying domestically on smaller aircraft, as items larger than 180 x 80 x 120 cm will not fit. Please contact Air New Zealand for assistance.
