My inbound aircraft made it in slightly late but we left late but I think we were the last to get out with only one aircraft landing just after us before everything else for the evening was canned.

I don't know how many people took NZ's advice of changing to Friday but it clearly wasn't smart advice - first flights out were all canned to to inbound aircraft not making it in on Thu evening, which then caused massive follow on issues. I think some pax were bussed to DUN to get them on flights.
