@Virgil I'm neither happy nor unhappy. It was kind of expected.
It may have been expected, but I'm furious.
Were you travelling north this weekend under L3?

Bit surprised. Based on what I’ve been reading on the forum I expected lockdown level 4 to be extended till 2050.

Had flights booked for the 27th. They're now dead. No flights available until 25 May (!!!), luckily I also had a ferry booked for 1 May which looks like our best option at the moment.
But I'm way more angry for the people losing jobs and businesses than I am for me. This flippant 4 day extension is just outrageous.

I'm amazed you could even book flights for 27th tbh.

Booked those a week ago.
I've now cancelled those and rebooked flights from ChCh to Wellington on the 29th. Best I can manage

I'd have stuck with this week, but 2 working days and avoiding a bunch of region breaches for the long weekend has some merit. Businesses being allowed to prepare from today for opening is obvious but at least it occurred to someone.
Seems a good reason to avoid yoyos between levels.

Pretty irresponsible of the airline to be taking bookings on a presumption (unless they made that clear)

They are probably operating the flight anyway (as airfreight) so up to the government if people are allowed on it.

Dunno, guess the airlines knew as little as us?
we booked flexible fares, so our new fares are actually cheaper, albeit nowhere near as convenient.

I absolutely fucking hated it when JA said "2 working days". What fucking decade is she living in??? Has she spoken to the Queenstown cafes and restaurants that do the vast majority of their trade on the weekend?
And what on earth are the criteria that we didn't meet to achieve 12pm on the 23rd, or that we must meet to hit 12pm on the 27th?
This is so stupid. If people's livelihoods weren't being destroyed, it would acrually be comical.
14 people in hospital. Less than 10 new cases per day. And we are killing the economy.
