With Jetstar domestic flights in New Zealand, can you use multiple bags in your luggage allowance?

My brother is on a Jetstar flight from Christchurch to Wellington and the allowance is 20kg. The question is - is the weight limit limited to a single checked bag, or can you use more than one bag, as long as it's under 20kg total weight?

Best Answer

The answer came at the airport - and it's yes, Jetstar limits by weight, not by number of bags.

At check-in, you're simply asked how many bags you're checking solely to print out the baggage tags. The total is then weighed (if at all) and as long as your total is under 20kg, which his was, then everything works just fine.
