It is always possible to miss flights due to traffic en route to the airport, especially in Auckland. This is nothing new. Accidents. Long weekends. Bad weather. Big events. All cause problems.

A few weeks ago my flight from gate 25 was nearly an hour late departing despite the inbound aircraft being on time, solely because there was only two security lanes (the maximum in the space) for 4 very full A320 flights all trying to leave at the same time. Security ended up calling each flight by flight to be processed, rather than the usual first in first out.
