Air New Zealand says that people trapped by the requirement to have an isolation voucher administered before flying to this country can change their flights.
Travelers must now have a coupon for a bed in a facility before boarding an international flight to New Zealand.
The country’s managed isolation facilities are now fully booked until after Christmas, meaning that people who have booked flights without a coupon could get high.

Some who booked flights home before the voucher system went live contacted RNZ earlier this week, concerned they might not be able to secure a spot in managed isolation that matches their flights.
Air New Zealand says that people who cannot get a coupon can make a date change at no additional cost.
If a customer has a non-refundable ticket, they also have the option to keep the fare on credit.
