Well this is interesting.. LA800 SYD-AKL-SCL is now making an extra stop in Tahiti!

LATAM informs about operation at Auckland Airport, New Zealand

I was on that flight, unfortunately in Y and didn't appreciate the extra 3 hours! At least I didn't miss my connection to Lima as I allowed a generous connecting time (don't trust Latam) but others did miss their flights. One couple going to MVD was delayed 24 hours!

The situtation seems to be ok now. Of course my bucket list flight in EK F AKL-BNE was right on time, I would have loved extra time on THAT flight!
