After 17 hours in the air, dozens of passengers on the first Air New Zealand flight from New York to Auckland had a rude surprise when they found out their luggage hadn't arrived. Flight NZ1 left New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at 11:20pm on Saturday (US time) and arrived at 8:32am on Monday morning (NZ time). One person told Newshub the experience on the flight was "perfect" but around 40 to 50 people were affected with their bags left in New York. Teva told Newshub they aren't sure how long it will take for them to be reunited with their luggage. This was our first time doing an international trip because we are from Europe and we were always travelling in Europe and it was fine and now the experience is really bad for us," Teva told Newshub.
