Economy Class

Sounds air offers a standard class fare, akin to what might be expected from an economy class fare. However, the airline does recognise that different flyers have different needs. Therefore, Sounds Air offers three grades of fare, including:

Sounds Best - the most flexible fare, for passengers with dynamic schedules. Passengers can change or cancel their flight for free of charge, up to 1 hour prior to scheduled departure time.

Sounds Great - the classic middle range fare. Passengers are still able to cancel or change their flights prior to the day of departure, but will be charged $25 NZD per passenger.

Sounds Good - the least expensive fare, for passengers with firm travel plans that want to fly for less. Passengers are still able to cancel or change their flights up to the day of departure, but will be charged $40 NZD per passenger.
