As part of the airline's Black Friday flight specials, tickets will cost just over $2 (£1) plus taxes return, the airline said on its UK site. The total cost will be around NZ$355 (£178). They are available for purchase from 29 November to 3 December. Air New Zealand says tickets are on a first come, first served basis as there are only 100 available to buy. The airline announced last month that it is axing its London route via Los Angeles. It first flew the route in 1982, but said competition made the service unsustainable. The service will end in October 2020.

The plan to cut down 345 non-natives is part of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority's restoration project, which will see 13,000 natives planted on the maunga.

But local residents are concerned about the mass felling and say they weren't adequately consulted.

3. No fizzy drink! It will make your ears pop and make you feel bloated due to cabin pressure.
4. Get Moving. Especially when you on a long-distance flight, walk around as much as possible to decrease the chance of having blood clots.
5. Don’t overdo on alcohol. Believe it or not, the onboard pressure makes you react to alcohol faster and you can get drunk much quicker.

Recipe: Classic Omelette

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

Omelettes are essentially a version of scrambled eggs but they have been left to rest and coagulate so that the pan side is firm. Some people prefer firm omelettes, others like to have the egg a little runny so that it retains that soft, silky consistency also known as baveuse.

Omelettes are essentially a version of scrambled eggs but they have been left to rest and coagulate so that the pan side is firm. Some people prefer firm omelettes, others like to have the egg a little runny so that it retains that soft, silky consistency also known as baveuse.

Ingredients
3 Eggs
1 pinch Salt
½ tsp Butter, or a splash of good quality olive oil


Directions
1. In a bowl whisk the eggs. Add salt.
2. Heat the butter in a frying pan (non-stick is easier) until it is just beginning to brown and has a nutty smell. Let it run around the pan so that it is well coated.
3. Pour in the egg mix. With your rubber spatula, constantly lift and scoop around the edges and cut through the middle of the egg mixture to cook evenly.
4. If you are adding a filling to the omelette, it should be done at this point.
5. Roll or fold the omelette by folding one half on the other, or fold one third on the middle third and then roll on the remaining third.

Prior to folding, you can add a filling to lift the flavour of the omelette.
Classic combinations include:
Saute mushrooms
Blanched spinach (with cream)
Diced ham
A combination of finely chopped herbs such as chives, chervil, parsley, tarragon
