Air New Zealand
After dropping off Eric’s wife’s surfboard and the hire car it was time to catch my next flight onwards to New Zealand.
I was without a board so wasn’t expecting any issues, but not even Bear Grylls safety film for the Airbus A320 (http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/air-nz-does-it-again-bear-grylls-stars-in-latest-comedic-safety-video-20130227-2f56h.html) could lighten my mood after I got stung for $100 by Air New Zealand in order to take two bags on the plane.
My request that my bag have a window seat seeing as it was paying for its own ticket fell on deaf ears!
