Positives:

  • Free infant seating: Bring your baby on your lap at no extra cost with a supplied lap belt.
  • Short flight duration: A 20-minute flight limits fuss and keeps baby comfortable.

Challenges:

  • Limited baby gear space: Stroller must fold small enough to fit; confirm storage space at booking.
  • No onboard nursing room: Use airport parent rooms or ask staff for a quiet corner to breastfeed.
  • Weather-dependent schedule: High winds can delay flights; monitor forecasts and book early slots.

We took the 5-hour early morning flight-cruise-flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! Highlight of our trip. The entire experience was flawless. The team at Air Milford was kind, accommodating, informative, and professional. Highly recommend! Just one thing made me nervous—they didn’t have infant/child life jackets on the flight. In the unlikely event of an ...

I have a fear of heights and do not like small aircraft but I manage...

We had the pleasure to fly with Emma, incredible experience and fastest way to get to Milford Sound. It's a small aircraft, so might be a bit shaky :) the view is breathtaking, Emma took great care of us during the whole experience. Strongly recommend it, however all depends on the good weather.

A fantastic trip, which I would readily do again. Great scenery flying to Milford Sound, complimented by the information provided by Tom our pilot. Followed by a very enjoyable cruise along the sound, seeing penguins and seals as well as the mountains, along with a scenic return flight. Many thanks for a great experience.

Equally valuable to me was the warmth and generosity exuded by the staff. Antony was a kind and knowledgeable guide as he piloted us, and the whole experience, from the lobby to the return landing, f...
