New Zealanders stuck overseas are paying thousands of dollars to get home. In many cases have no idea if they will be allowed to board flights - or whether more flights will be cancelled due to Covid-19.

Some are pinning their hopes on government mercy flights - but with up to $110,000 New Zealand citizens and residents currently overseas, some face a long wait.
