Air New Zealand has been using its 787-9 to service long-haul routes.
She booked the flights hoping to reunite with family and hold a service for her mother.
“Part of me knew it was a bit of a gamble booking that far out.”

She was considering flying an alternative route and may return to Canada for several months to spend time with her father.
