Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best Airline Ever.
Christchurch - BlenheimDomestic
I bought an off season pass as I was traveling between Chch and Wellington every week. I didn't mind the stops in Blenheim. The pass felt risky as it was a large sum for me at that time. I even sold my fridge and some other items to fund it! It was 1000 % worth every cent. Every flight check in, completely stress free! Every flight is a scenic flight.... I should have taken more photos but I kept falling asleep. Every landing was perfect! I had several horrible circumstances that required flight changes and every time the staff bent over backwards to assist me. (outside my terms and conditions.) I'll always be grateful for that. My pass expires in August but I'll be saving for the next one. Thank you 🙏🥰

Amazing unique experience
Wellington - NelsonDomestic
First time I traveled with sounds air and small plane. It was such an amazing and unique experience. I was afraid of high turbulence but pilot drove plane very smooth. I will use sounds air facility again and again.

Best airline in NZ!!
Blenheim - ParaparaumuDomesticEconomy
Always great service and staff. Lifesaver for getting family home after recent ferry disruption. Could not have been better to deal with. Great fare options, some of which have a great cancelation policy. Highly recommend and always our first choice to get to Blenheim. Such a good kiwi company.

Save my holiday
Wellington - PictonDomesticEconomy
Sounds Air pulled through in a pinch when my ferry from Wellington to Picton had been cancelled. I'm only in New Zealand for one week so all my bookings were very tight and left no room for errors. Perhaps that was my first mistake but my second had been not to just initially book with Sounds Air! They're small but mighty and even though I wasn't able to make my bus to Kaikoura, I was able to meet a friendly Kiwi willing to take me themself. Holiday saved.

Think Scenic flight! Bring water and chocolate and, if you have a cold, buy some throaties at the airport to have in your mouth on descent.

noise cancelling headphones would be a good idea, listen to some music as the cabin can be a bit noisy
