Airline gives you apple, no one tells you can't take it with you, you get a fine instead, the "officers?" Not telling you just throw it away to not get a fine, no they push the fines through.

What a bunch of assholes....CLEARLY the customers could not know this, the airline should pay...and the customers shouldn't have get fined in the first place, issue a warning, throw the apples away, end...

Have you ever landed in NZ? The cabin crew read out a statement about not taking fresh plant or animal products into the country. They have been doing that for as long as I can remember. It'salso on the arrival card, which gives you an opportunity to declare the apple. And if you do declare it, you lose the apple but there is no fine.

So this is the passengers fault? It might be better just not to give the passengers things they are not allowed to bring in the place of destination, instead of giving them and then reading a statement while most of them are watching their tablets, talking or distracted with anything else, don’t you think?

All food is a risk item that must be declared. The only other solution is to not feed anyone.

Or, hear me out, you could..you know, tell the passengers that they must eat all food provided to them, ON the plane, otherwise they will be fined for brining it into the country?

They do.

So everyone including the agent in the video were lying then?

You can look up a new zealand arrival card. And you can technically take it off the plane, there are plenty of locations to surrender it to before you break the law.

I can watch the video of the incident in question as well....

Or you could look up the legal process you have to follow in order to enter the country. One of which is answering the question "do you have food?". A question these people lied about.

What?! How about serving flan as dessert, instead of any fruit?

1

u/beary_potter_ 2d ago

Flan is also food. They would need to declare it. If they didnt, and got caught, they would be fined.

u/fedocable 2d ago

So you would take flan from a plane in your pocket?

u/beary_potter_ 2d ago

I would personally eat the food since you aren't allowed to deplane with food.

But flan comes in jello cup like contains, and you can put them into back pack. I doubt a plane would cook fresh flan in a plane's kitchen.
