A kind-hearted viewer has paid for Hinemoa Tuionetoa and her two boys to travel to Tonga

Campbell Live did a story last week about $250 tickets from Auckland to Tonga that proved to be worthless – the plane never arrived and the customers still had not received a refund.

Once again our viewers have responded kindly and saved the day, for one woman at least.

For anyone else who bought dud tickets, the police are still investigating and are asking for anyone affected to contact them.

Watch the video for the full report.

This is why it is so important to use a TAANZ bonded agent so the consumer has protection. Travel Brokers are also covered by this protection as we are 'Authorised Salespeople' - when booking if you are unsure ask the questions of your agent to make sure they are bonded and you are protected.

I am always amazed at the generosity of others. To the unnamed contributor of this ticket, thank you very much. It is these gestures that give me hope that there are still some decent folk out there. From a fellow Tongan, malo aupito. Much love to you all xoxox
