WebJet question

[jasonu]

Has anyone dealt with WebJet for travel within NZ?
I tried to book a flight from Auckland to Wanganui for next Jan. and they have asked for copies of my USA credit card used to pay for the flight and passport or drivers license. I have booked numerous flights on the internet and this is the first time I have come across this sort of request.
Anyone had similar experiences or anyother WebJet advice would be apperciated.
Cheers in advance.

Your are using the NZ website and not the US one right?

When booking an International ticket you always need to put the passport number in and if you are using the us site then that's why.
Also they need to check who the person flying is.

[BoristheBiter]

oops, just read where you are based so yes you will need a passport number.

It's good to see the flagging system is working to keep the undesirables out.

You're still here so it doesn't work that well.

The straw that broke the camels back perhaps?

Wanganui?

They only let undesirables in, everyone else best get out, stay out.

The system seems to be working, take the hint and go elsewhere.

Using the Webjet.co.nz site. I will already be in NZ at the time of the booking so no PP needed as it is purely domestic travel, plus I am a Kiwi anyway. They are saying it is for their security purposes. I reciently booked the flight for me and her indoors from the states to Auckland ($4200USD) on line with the same CC and no questions asked.

Webjet got Mrs H and me to and from Australia recently, no worries, and one-way to Christchurch yesterday without problem or angst.

I was looking at webjet site for domestic flights - ALL flights on there incur their 'finders fee' - I simply found the cheapest on there then went to the actual website for the Airline and booked through them (at the cheaper price without webjet's fee).

I find the site pretty useful to compare times & prices, but I then just go to the Airline & book there.

Thanks mate. Due of the overwelming positive responses and advise offered on this thread (and because I talked Webjet into accepting a copy of my yank DL and a power bill with my address on it) I booked with them and got one way flight for 2 people Ak to Fanganui for $226 all up. Air NZ wants nearly $400.
Yay for me!!!:niceone:

So that will be with Jetstar. just make sure you're not late to check in. They take no prisoners. You can web boarding pass a couple of days before & print it out yourself. Other than that you are often lining up with a few million others to get a boarding pass which can make you late. Can't remember if they have kiosks yet (like ANZ do), which I should be able to get a minds eye picture as I was there 5 days ago, think I saw them (maybe white & red boxes) but I wasn't looking, having a web printed one in my hand.

Nope, Air NZ:Punk:
The price with ANZ I mentioned was if I booked directly with them on their website. I did look at Jetstar (and I am aware of their shitty rep) and they are cheap enough but the closest they could get me to Wangers is Wellington.

The kiosks weren't working when i was last there (month ago).

Fly jetstar? Be prepared to be delayed.

I've always had to provide passport for flights via travel agents, webjet, airline direct... yes yes yes they keep letting me into the country (NZ) :bleh:

Even have to provide photo ID (pic in full bike gear frowned upon) flying Brissie to Melb, yet not visa versa.

If looking at Webjet flight/price, do you have to quote it to airline to price match?
