A flight that normally takes about 3½ hours turned into a 25-hour nightmare for a Wellington passenger after low cloud and strong winds meant his plane couldn’t land in the capital.

“We were told by the pilot that the Airbus A220 wasn’t good at landing in low cloud and wind,” Richard, who asked for his surname not to be used, said. “That’s not good for Wellington.”
