We have settled on the foolhardy tactic of waiting for our BA flight on Tuesday, and if it all goes Pete Tong we will stay in Auckland with our friends in Devonport. Worse things, right?
Will keep post updated and big thanks to so many of you for posting advice and support, such a great forum 👍🍻
Good luck with your strategy. As long as you understand that there is a significant chance of you getting stuck in NZ and you have the means to ride that out, then fair enough.
How is the situation out there, by the way? Is everything functioning reasonably normally? Things are starting to shut down in the UK, so you might just be in the best place.
