Air New Zealand rebooking leads to 30-hour travel ordeal for autistic child en route to Bali
A mother and her 9-year-old autistic son experienced a 30-hour travel ordeal to Bali after their direct Air New Zealand flight was cancelled and rebooked. Kama Kanic had reserved a Skycouch for her son's comfort, but the rebooked itinerary involved three countries, multiple aircraft, no Skycouch, unsuitable seating, and no special meals, despite special requests on their booking. Kanic reported a lack of communication and support from the airline, leading to her son's distress. Upon arrival in Bali, they lost two days of their holiday recovering. Initially, Air New Zealand deemed her request to extend their return flights by two days as "not reasonable." However, after Kanic posted about her experience on social media, Air New Zealand apologized, offered the transcript as a training opportunity for staff, and changed their return flights at no additional cost, reinstating a Skycouch.

Zoo Atlanta announced the successful hatching of a critically endangered Bali mynah chick. This species, native to Southeast Asian forests, is known for its white feathers and ability to mimic sounds. With fewer than 20 Bali mynahs remaining in the wild due to a small natural range and poaching, over a thousand live in zoos and breeding programs globally. The new chick is the first successful offspring from a breeding pair recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan. While currently growing behind the scenes, the chick may eventually be on display year-round at Zoo Atlanta.
