ANZ probably just alienated 250+ pax and their families. Golly. An RTB that ends up with an extended duty period to return to A seems like a less than optimal solution. There are dozens of airports ENR that ANZ could have lobbed into, rather than do a ground hog day repeat. Between spending more than 16 hrs to get to the starting point or going for another 3 after 8 and taking a rest at a best western and then moving along 24 hrs later would have seemed like a good use of heartbeats, cycles and CO2. Kiwis are pretty laid back, but.... wait, they are the ones that do the Haka thingy, top people with green rock things... don't like underarm bowlers... win yacht races...
