My partner and I wanted a short break from the persistent wet weather we've experienced in Auckland and Aircalin was offering flights at an attractive price to New Caledonia. Online booking was straightforward, the flights to and from NZ were on time and the meals were good. Entertainment options were adequate for a 3 hour flight, and seats were fairly comfortable. Our only issue was that we checked in online at Auckland, expecting to be able to do a bag drop at a separate counter. However, we had to join everyone else in the check in queue so there was no time saving.…

I loved the plane and loved the seats! Great onboard service! and flights attendants were very nice! I flew more than 10 times with Air calin and that was everytime good, but they need to review their connections, and their Boarding and onboarding.

I took advantage of an attractive last-minute business class upgrade offer from Aircalin, which I had never flown before, and was very impressed with the overall experience. I've had the privilege of flying in business class on a good number of the world's major carriers and my experience on Aircalin was among the very best. The seat was comfortable, the food was delicious, the entertainment system was modern and the excellent and attentive cabin crew really made it a memorable experience. A subsequent flight with them in economy was pleasant as well. I'd be delighted to fly Aircalin more often but as it's New Caledonia based airline their route map is quite limited. …
