Getting home to Aotearoa

From Afternoons, 1:50 pm on 24 March 2020

Lucy Deane is the eldest of five siblings, and she is trying to get her sister Alice home from London as soon as possible as the coronavirus situation escalates around the world. 

Alice was due to board her Emirates flight yesterday, but that was cancelled and all its flights have now been suspended.  She’s now frantically trying to book Alice a flight, but it’s proving to be almost impossible.
