On Friday, June 13, I was returning home from a three-day trip on New Zealand’s East Coast for business. For my return flight home, I was booked to travel from Gisborne toChristchurch Airport, a flight that is not operated directly, resulting in a stopover in the country’s biggest city, and busiest airport, Auckland. My first flight, an Air New Zealand Bombardier Dash 8 Q300 service, took around 40 minutes to travel gate to gate.
