Looked at one of our flight plans from the USA to AKL and they had as an alternate, YSSY. And a second alternate airport..... NSTU. Pago Pago. 3:30 + flight time. Thought "what the....?!?" then looked down at the comments and there was a note saying it was tanker fuel for the return trip due to "fuel quotas". Now, that makes sense.
