Air New Zealand is the latest to jump on the political bandwagon surrounding the travels of Rodney Hide and Hone Harawira.

The airline is promoting its latest airfares to Los Angeles as having 'Nothing to Hide.'

The ACT leader used his parliamentary travel perk to take his girlfriend on a fact-finding trip, and while in North America, visited an LA theme park.

Mr Hide made his political reputation as a perk-buster, and has paid back much of the taxpayer he spent on the trip.

The national carrier is also advertising 'Sprung in Paris' specials, showing Maori Party MP Hone Harawira - who left an official conference in Brussels to visit the French capital with his wife, wearing a beret.

I am so glad you gave up international flights out of Hamilton as we now have an increase in passengers and better service.
I still can't believe how you tried to bully out the competition (Ansett in the late 80's and Kiwi Air in the 90's) and then leave the airports to die once the competition was gone.
Don't come back!!!
