Because of the delayed return to New Zealand, Jacqui and I had to re-organise our return dates. Despite the best endeavours of our excellent Tauranga-based travel agent, we were unable to return via our preferred Hong Kong route. There are simply no seats available on the HK – Auckland leg.
That is actually quite scary. It was a similar story on the Singapore – Auckland and KL – Auckland routes. Apparently, it is down partly due to the influx of Asian students returning to NZ for the start of the new academic year. Good news of course for the airlines, but for business, New Zealand is actually cut off at the knees. Business people simply cannot find easy flights home at this time of the year.
So LAX it is. With Iris checks, finger dabs and a welcome from Mickey Mouse.
