The breakfasts for domestic Business flights were great - the Dunedin airport cafe prepared them for the 7:30 am departures and there were usually one or two left over to purchase. I needed to fight off the taxi drivers to get one...
I remember using the teletext on the TV in the Koru lounge at the top of stairs beside the (one) airbridge at Dunedin airport. If the last flight in was delayed, the guy from Avis and I would be allowed in to get updates on arrival time. I'd also go and look at the AA road information if roads around Otago were frosty/icy/flooded so I could let our customers know of any road closures.
Frosty Dunedin mornings meant that we would have keys in all the car ignitions, running heaters and windscreen wipers to defrost cars in time for NZ501 9:35 am flight from Auckland via Christchurch.
