If Air New Zealand has the same policy how were they able to travel with no problem at all on Air New Zealand in exactly the same circumstances.

"Jetstar told The Dominion Post it would be apologising, and refunding their fares." if they just "turned up" at the airport and Jetstar simply refused to sell them tickets when they arrived at the airport there would be no need to refund anything.
