Stranded Kiwis

'No flights until Feb 25': Stranded Kiwis in Samoa face weeks-long waits to get home

One Auckland man, who did not want his name published for work reasons, said Air New Zealand had rebooked him on a flight from Apia to Auckland on February 25, nearly a month after his cancelled flight on January 28.

He and his fiancee had been set to fly out at 1.50pm on Saturday, but received an email from Air New Zealand that evening, hours after the flight had been cancelled, saying there wouldn’t be any changes to it.
