A group of British travellers dubbed 'tourists from hell' have finally arrived at an airport to leave New Zealand after wreaking havoc across the country.
Members of the controversial family, thought to be from Liverpool, were seen at Auckland International Airport with luggage and were due to leave New Zealand on a flight today.
Locals will breathe a sigh of relief after the holidaymakers were accused of causing chaos by trashing motel rooms, leaving rubbish on the beach and using foul language.
But the clan's last few days in the country have not passed without incident. There were reports this morning that their Honda Odyssey was given a parking ticket after it was left in a loading zone for longer than the five-minute limit in Auckland.
And yesterday, the group allegedly tried to con a petrol station owner out of a can of Red Bull.

They were seen stopping at a BP service station about two hours north of Wellington on Monday.
The pit stop by the family was made on their way to Auckland, where they were due to catch an international flight on Tuesday. Staff member Linus Merchant told Daily Mail Australia he believes he foiled the family's plot to 'bamboozle' him and leave the store with a free can of Red Bull.
Linus said when he encountered the family, they appeared to be heading towards Auckland, and were looking for a fast food restaurant.
CCTV footage showed family spokesman, Joe Doran, clambering out of the family's green Honda Odyssey about 2.30pm, wearing just a pair of blue board shorts.
He appeared to have bleached his hair in recent days as media attention on the clan's activities ramped up.
Mr Doran was joined by his mother, the clan matriarch, Barbara Doran; his wife, Miley and the family's patriarch, who has not been named.
'They came in the shop as a crowd, drifted in and out,' Mr Merchant said.
The family members approached the counter swearing at each other and clutching three cans of the energy drink in their hands, he alleged.
Barbara was heard telling Joe and Miley: 'What, do you think I'm made of f***ing money?'
The group paid for the three cans.
But after Miley had walked away with her can, Barbara and Joe then claimed they had only ever brought two cans to the counter.
'They paid for three Red Bulls (and) told me: 'We got three'.
'I asked: 'Where's the other - you walked off with it, it's wherever you put it'.
'(I think) they were expecting me to say they could take another one from the fridge.
'They had tried to distract me, but I recognised them as soon as they showed up and watched them carefully.'
Linus said he believed the group were trying to play a 'classic divert and confuse con'.

'I think they realised I knew who they were and wasn't going to play their games, so they left quickly,' said BP worker Linus Merchant

In a bizarre coincidence, he said the power went out at the service station the second they walked in.
'It was a brief encounter,' he said.
'I think they realised I knew who they were and wasn't going to play their games, so they left quickly.'
The family, thought to number about 15, has made headlines around the world for their alleged behaviour on holiday.
The family have previously said they feel they are being 'tortured' by the public and insist they have done nothing wrong.
The group, believed to be from Liverpool in the UK, have been accused of scamming restaurants to avoid paying, leaving rubbish on beaches, swearing at locals and rubbishing the apartment they were staying in.
Ms Cash last week pleaded guilty to stealing Red Bull, rope and sunglasses from a separate service station in Auckland over the Christmas-New Year period.
In the past fortnight the family's alleged antics have caught the attention of the world's media and the clan sought refuge in mountains north of Wellington.
Original sin: This mess left behind at Takapuna Beach near Auckland sparked a social media firestorm. Family spokesman Joe Doran, on right, was there
Joe is married to Miley Doran and pictures of their wedding on Facebook from November 2017 show the couple dancing with relatives. Miley is with the family in New Zealand
Miley and Joe (pictured) have been together for several years. They have moved around and lived at caravan parks in the East Midlands where neighbours say they are a good family
But their every move has been closely tracked by a keen group of online vigilantes.
On Sunday, Daily Mail Australia discovered the clan left their rooms in a small hotel in Levin in complete disarray.
Pictures sighted by the publication showed spaghetti and Red Bull cans strewn around the room. Meantime, staff said the smell of 'kid's poo' permeated the space.
Four members of the family were issued with deportation notices early last week after causing a commotion at Burger King.
But the family have some 28 days to file an appeal.
WHO'S WHO IN THE UNRULY BRITISH FAMILY ROILING NEW ZEALAND?
Matriarch Barbara Doran says the family are 'very frightened, honestly'
THE MATRIARCH
The matriarch of the unruly clan being hunted by outraged Facebook vigilantes is grandmother Barbara Doran, 55.
Mrs Doran has told Daily Mail Australia that she is too scared to sleep at night.
The family feel they are being 'tortured' by the public and insist they have done nothing wrong.
'I'm very, very frightened, honestly,' Mrs Doran said.
THE FAMILY SPOKESMAN
Family spokesman Joe Doran
Her son, Joe Doran, has become the family's number one spokesman, sparring with media at different sites across the country.
Social media vigilantes tracking the family across New Zealand have dubbed Mr Doran 'Honest John'.
That's because he has repeatedly given his name to reporters as 'John Johnson'.
THE SPOKESMAN'S WIFE
Joe's wife is Miley Doran and pictures on Facebook show the couple dancing happily at their wedding in 2017.
THE RED BULL THIEF
Tina Marie Cash faced a New Zealand court last week and pleaded guilty to theft charges relating to a stolen Red Bull, rope and sunglasses.
WHERE ARE THEY FROM?
The family has lived in various caravan parks around the East Midlands in the UK.
Neighbours who say the family lived on the Washingborough Road caravan site in Lincoln say Joe Doran left the area two years ago 'to escape trouble'.
He is believed to have then moved to a second site in Bitteswell, Leicestershire, where he lived for a brief period.
A neighbour, who knows the family, told MailOnline: 'We are family and we stick together.
'Everything that's been said about them in New Zealand isn't true. They are a good family.'
One member of the family has bizarrely claimed they are related to Britain's 10th richest man.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
