....the guy that is riding my new bike up to auckland from christchurch has just called me to say he just got pulled by the plods and lost his license trying to make the ferry at picton.

I need a flight from auckland to either wellington or christchurch ASAP ! ! !

Never flown in a plane apart from coming to NZ and once to oz.

The other option is someone that is willing to do a road trip?

[Cajun]

air new zealand has tickets akl to wellington for $69 for tomorrow

[Bikernereid]

Fly Pacific Blue they are rediculously cheap. Flew to Welly on Boxing Day and it was about $45

[scumdog]

Ya must know some right nongs, I wonder what sort of thrashing your 'new' bike was getting on the way north?

I'd have more respect for another guys bike, now the silly twat has not only inconvenienced his stupid self but is costing you time/money/stress needlessly.

Oh, hope you get a cheap quick solution to your dilemma.

[Mully]

Where is he?

We flew to CHCH and relocated a rental car to Picton for Budget last year. $20/day plus your gas and two days to drop it to Picton ferry terminal.

Might be cheaper than flying to WLG and getting to ferry.

have you actually phoned the airport instead if just looking online? i bet you if you went down to the airport you could get a flight direct to christcurch, even though they are booked out, you would probably get a seat from somebody not turning up.

Where's the bike,, I am Kaikoura could secure it

Correct, and the ferry has a position for a motorcycle and passenger who won't turn up.

the guy got stranded in picton, now hes heading home to christchurch..

i only have a small window around work so need to get down there like.. now'ish !

[Ixion]

Secure the bike to place of safety, and organise recovery at your lesiure. Or get it freighted, about $400 I'd guess from Picton.

Exactly. Relax Disco, there's always an easy solution. Find out where the bike and keys are and get someone to pick it up and store it until you can get down there.

In that case use the right people for the job. Call a travel agent and ask them about flights.

You will have more chance of getting the info you need in the timeframes you have.
