According to
Simple Flying, Lufthansa are flying A380s and B747s into Christchurch as well as Auckland for 'rescue' flights. These flights get a tech stop in Bangkok, but I don't think the SLC are allowed off. That's a l-o-n-g time in Seat 42E
The NZ regulations have now been eased to allow tourists to travel to Auckland or Christchurch if they have a confirmed 'fly home' booking
