As far as I know there is no specific law in NZ for denied boarding delayed or cancelled flights. Imagine if there was..... Just like in Europe
They even have a site setup to help you claim.

For sure NZ has some pretty amazing laws in favor of the consumer. Which of course if you are a consumer its great. I am not sure if they cover denied boarding, due to over sale of seats? Plus the amount of effort and time and money to successfully make a claim for $200 against say Air NZ. Most likely wouldn't be worth it. But hey I'm know lawyer there may be a way.
Under Part 9B of the Civil Aviation Act 1990, you must compensate passengers for delays. This includes delays that are caused by overbooking (commonly referred to as ‘bumping’) and cancellation due to internal issues, such as mechanical problems and rostering.
The Act requires you to compensate passengers up to 10 times the price of their ticket, or the actual cost of the passenger's delay, whichever is the lower. The actual cost of the passengers’ delay includes any reasonably foreseeable extra costs they have incurred as a result of the delays such as meal costs, taxi fares, missed concerts or missed connections.
If you mislead people about your obligations under Part 9B of the Civil Aviation Act, you may commit an offence against section 13(i) of the Fair Trading Act.
See Fair Trading Act – what you need to know for more information.

gnfb: Having spent several years re-booking people on flights up in the Koru lounge for a variety or reasons from fog to mechanical, I would be surprised if 10% of them knew or did claim any sort of compensation.

I can understand compensation for things like over booking or mechanical probs but for weather no, airlines or airport companies should not be penalised for inclement weather.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
