Is anyone planning a trip to the South Island in February 2017?
We have two (2) tickets for air travel to Dunedin booked from 14 to 28 February 2017 for a trip we had planned to explore the lower South Island.
My husband is now awaiting confirmation of a date for surgery in the New Year and has been informed he will need 6 to 8 weeks recovery time which clashes with our intended trip.
The fare rules on our tickets stipulate that we can change the Date/Time or a change of passenger details for each ticket is permitted. We will pay the change fee.
Hope you can assist us.
Many thanks.
