Air Vanuatu reviews and complaints
Recent traveler stories about Air Vanuatu flights, connections, baggage, schedule changes, and customer service.
Maintenance delay was explained poorly
I do not blame Air Vanuatu for checking a maintenance item on NF830. Safety comes first. What bothered me was the lack of updates: first ten minutes, then another twenty, then silence. Passengers can handle delays better when someone explains the plan honestly.
Arrival team helped after a medical scare
A passenger near us felt faint before landing on Air Vanuatu NF867. The crew asked for medical help, kept the aisle clear, and arranged for staff to meet the aircraft at Toronto Pearson. It was handled respectfully without creating panic in the cabin.
A gate agent saved the connection
I was already stressed when the inbound aircraft reached Delhi late on May 14, 2026. Renee at the gate checked the Air Vanuatu app, moved me to an earlier boarding lane for NF904, and called ahead so the crew knew I was coming. I made the Paris Charles de Gaulle connection with only a few minutes to spare. It was the kind of calm help that changes the whole trip.
Baggage updates stopped after the first claim
My suitcase did not arrive at Mexico City on Aug 20, 2026. The first agent filed claim NF-1527 and sounded confident, but after that the online tracker barely changed. I called twice, got two different answers, and bought basic clothes without knowing what would be reimbursed. The bag eventually appeared, but the silence was more frustrating than the delay itself.
Refund request kept getting closed
I cancelled within the permitted window and uploaded the receipts for Air Vanuatu NF978. The refund case showed as closed even though the $146 credit never posted. Each chat agent told me to wait another billing cycle. I do not mind a process, but I do mind starting from zero every time I contact support.
Boarding group treatment felt unnecessary
At Singapore Changi on Feb 25, 2026, our boarding group 4 was called and then held to the side while several later passengers were allowed through. No one explained the change. The flight was fine once we sat down, but the tone at the door made the start of the trip feel disorganized and dismissive.
Family seats were split after payment
We paid to keep our family together on Air Vanuatu NF162 from ORD to FRA. At check-in, two of the 2 children were assigned several rows away. The airport team fixed one seat but not all of them, so another passenger had to trade. Families should not have to negotiate at the cabin door after paying for seats.
Clean cabin and a crew that noticed details
The cabin on Air Vanuatu NF199 was clean, and the crew noticed small things without being asked. On Aug 20, 2026, a passenger near me was nervous during turbulence, and a flight attendant checked back twice with water and a quiet update. Nothing dramatic happened, which is exactly why the trip felt professional.
Could not reach anyone during a schedule change
Air Vanuatu changed my departure from Miami by several hours. The email said I could choose alternatives online, but every option ended with an error. I waited 43 minutes on the phone and then the call dropped. By the time I reached an agent, the better connection was gone.
Wheelchair assistance was handled with care
My mother needed wheelchair assistance for Air Vanuatu NF273. At Terminal 4, the escort arrived before boarding, stayed with us through security, and made sure the destination team at Toronto Pearson knew where to meet her. It made a difficult travel day feel manageable.
Seat fee was charged twice
I selected a standard aisle seat for Air Vanuatu NF310 and saw two separate $200 charges on my card. The website showed only one seat purchase, so I had to send bank screenshots to prove the duplicate billing. The duplicate was corrected, but only after three messages.
App boarding pass disappeared at security
The mobile boarding pass for Air Vanuatu NF347 loaded fine at home, then disappeared at Los Angeles security on Aug 16, 2026. The kiosk printed a new one, but I had to leave the line and start over. The staff helped, but the app made a simple trip more stressful than it needed to be.
Helpful cabin crew on a long flight
Alex on Air Vanuatu NF384 deserves credit. I had a tight deadline after landing and asked about the arrival gate. The crew could not promise anything, but they checked the latest gate information, helped me keep my laptop bag accessible, and gave clear updates before landing.
Delayed bag arrived damaged
The bag reached Sydney Kingsford Smith 4 days after I did, and one wheel was cracked. The airport desk told me to file online, the website asked for airport paperwork, and the airport desk had not given me that form. That loop made the baggage issue feel worse than the damage.
Counter staff fixed a name issue quickly
A middle initial was missing from my ticket, and I expected a long argument at Chicago O'Hare. Instead, the Air Vanuatu counter agent checked the passport, corrected the record, and explained what would show on the boarding pass. The whole issue took about ten minutes on May 14, 2026.
Overbooked flight created a messy evening
Air Vanuatu asked for volunteers on NF495, then started calling names at the podium without making the order clear. We were traveling from HND to LHR for a family event and spent nearly an hour unsure whether we still had seats. We did fly, but the communication was poor.
