I’ve flown with Air New Zealand a couple of times, and they’ve been pretty decent with camera gear. They let you check extra bags for free if you’re carrying professional equipment, which is a big plus. Also, look out for their scenic flight routes over places like Milford Sound—they’re amazing for getting those unique shots!
