I received Full Refund from Air New Zealand for flights to USA
To help others here is how I got a Refund for flights with Air New Zealand to the USA. First off ANZ cancelled flights to San Francisco before the Lockdown. Last week they cancelled my 5 booked flights and gave us a credit so I phoned the airline at 11pm Sunday night and ask for a refund using the following:- went to the US Department of Transportation website and under Refund - Cancellation found the following "If your flight is cancelled and you choose to cancel your trip as a result, you are entitled to a refund for the unused transportation – even for non-refundable tickets." Used this statement in phone call as we were covered as anyone travelling to or through USA is covered. The person I was talking to went away and asked and came back with must be USA citizen(don't think this is necessary but my husband is) so said that and they said yes they would give us a refund so asked for that in writing which he typed up and sent to me while I waited. This morning the refund was credited back to my credit card. May be something similar under EU Rules for other countries. Another option is that 2 days after Air New Zealand cancelled all flights the Changed their Conditions of Carriage to include Pandemics/Epidemics to exclude refunds. Can provide further info on this and how to find out if people want that info.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Harrier Hawk 0823
Harrier Hawks seem to have flight routines. It was not uncommon to see one flying southwards over Burn St from the Roslyn Rd area as this one was doing. I often wondered if it was always the same hawk but anyway I've not seen it happen recently.
