Oh, no! Not the "Oakland/Auckland" oldie but goldie again, this time with an Ohian twist in the tale.
Except that Akland, OH, DOESN't seem to have an airport, let alone one that serves flights from LAX.
And has Air NZ EVER shared a terminal with airlines operating intra-Californian routes?
(Did I ever tell you the story about the gent who got off the aircraft in SFO on the way to SYD and didn't realise it for 3 days...?)
