@No-Quarter They are also probably trying to reduce the risk of citizens being trapped in other countries, if the airlines stop flying it would be bloody difficult to get back to NZ. Mind you there might be a few cruise ships available....
I have several air tickets paid for but in limbo. If they shut everything down I wonder if I'll get my money back? 🤔
We've been cancelling stuff left and right, and have found almost all carriers and hotels pretty accommodating actually. If not a refund, credits seem to be offered.
The exception is GotoGate, a UK aggregator that we booked flights to Japan with. They still haven't responded to my cancellation request (you can't call, only email), and our flights were due to be yesterday...🙄
Air NZ were happy to defer flights as per my ticket class when I called them a couple of weeks ago (seems like a long time now). But they were flying everywhere then. Non-refundable hotels are more a problem, just have to swallow those but I will ask

I expect Air NZ will have to extend dates for offering 12 months credit from the time of ticket purchase or offer a refund. I have a flight booked for next month which won't happen now.

Just back from my local supermarket and it's much busier than usual for that time of day. Toilet paper, hand sanitiser, etc were still on the shelves but supplies are lower. No one avoided each other as we walked down the aisles. The lady restocking pasta was busy.
I got my lunch which was the main objective.

@Bovidae did a run earlier too. Zero detol, or anti-bacterial stuff. But some other cleaning options so it's not the end of the world... a lot of people out and a high proportion of older folks. Some people were definitely keeping a distance from others but many people where just knocking about as usual.
Schools and more business (or all non-essential businesses) closing will kick it up another notch. Does put more pressure on employers too as what expectation of genuine work can you have when the rug rats are at home.
Wish I'd emptied out my barn earlier

Supermarkets are absolutely mental. Just took me ten mins to get out the damn carpark, and I wasn't even going to the supermarket!
Did you have an old man moment and get yourself all discombobulated?? Meant to go to petrol station and ended up at Supermarket?
Have a sit down and a cup of tea

I hope I don't get lost in the carpark....

Self isolating is certainly a lot easier when only 100 people live in a town.
