Highlanders fans heading north for tonight's Super Rugby final against the Hurricanes were dressed for the occasion at Dunedin Airport this morning.
Air NZ put on an additional flight to cater for fans, and social media reports indicated it was a wise move.
"Can't believe I'm on a 767 at Dunedin airport chock a block w #Highlanders supporters waiting 2 takeoff," MP Clare Curran tweeted.
