Christchurch family pays another $13,500 after fog cancelled flightBRADEN FASTIER/FAIRFAX NZ From left: Shelley Trigg, Georgia Trigg, Tania Hassan, Fred Barton, and Nan Barton at Christchurch Airport after they missed their connecting flights to Bali for a family holiday. A Christchurch family's Bali holiday was almost ruined by "the best airline in the world" after they were forced to fork out an extra $13,500 to secure new flights. Shelley Trigg and her family were heading to Bali for her father's 70th birthday when fog grounded their Air New Zealand flight from Christchurch to Auckland on Wednesday morning. GEORGE HEARD/FAIRFAX NZ Dense fog blanketed Christchurch on the shortest day of the year. Following questions sent to Air New Zealand, the airline found the family and took them to the Koru Lounge before their evening flight to Sydney.
