FjoldDirect flights Auckland - Houston
So you guys will probably being seeing even more Texans when Air New Zealand starts flying direct to Houston in December.
I pity the poor flight crews, being locked in with Texans for 14 hours.

I've met a few here & there and all were pretty good guys. If memory serves most were from the Eastern seaboard USA, so throwing a few Texans into the mix just adds to the range of flavours.
To some extent it'll work in reverse too. I'm already thinking about potential Texas hunting opportunities. Direct flights are the best, especially if the need for further internal flights is removed. I assume there would be far fewer hassles clearing firearms through Houston compared to some other hubs.
