Flying up from Queenstown?

**avgas** · 15th December 2007, 13:51

Hey Guys,
If any of you know someone flying up from Queenstown to Auckland this weekend.....I have a really HUGE favor of them.
So huge i am willing to pay $80 cash for the job to get done.
Turns out my passport is sitting at Budget rentacar in Queenstown, sitting in a courier bag. Couriers cant pick up until Mon.
I need it Wed.
If they can collect it from Budget, and txt/call me (021 360 234) when they get to Auckland (or before with an eta and a flight no.). I will personally drive out to the airport and collect it from them.......and give them $80 for their troubles.
I have had a crap week, with it ending with me doing mission impossible flying down to Q/T driving up to Benmore, driving back to QT and flying back here.
Usually i wouldn't be this concerned - but my long planned trip to Tokyo/Shanghai kicks off on Wed.....
So concerned is an understatement.
Cheers
Stew

Get them to courier it to the courier station/place at the airport and you could pick it up before your flight on wed?!

Else ring Air NZ? and the rental company and try some smooth talking!? You never know, who are you flying to Japan with?

Yup - put out an urgent HELP to Air NZ, have them speak with the rental car co in question...

Shouldn't be a biggy... and good luck.

turns out they dont do that anymore unfortuately. They had a incident a few years ago where a passport went missing.
So bugger is all i can say right now.
Courier should get to me in time. will ring the courier on mon, and ask them to hold it when i gets there and i will shoot off from work and pick up immeadiately.
Going to Tokyo/Shangai/Beijing/Osaka/Kyoto with me partner.
