    Digital Passenger Declaration

    My partner and I arrived back in Melbourne yesterday. We were on SQ 227 from Singapore. Our journey had originated in Rome. We'd flown Lufthansa to Frankfurt and on to Singapore. Filling out the Digital Passenger Declaration within the prescribed time frame was a pain in the backside. My...

    Melbourne to San Francisco via Sydney

    My partner and I have completed the first leg of a round the world itinerary; our first overseas adventure since the pandemic. We made our way from Ringwood to a Melbourne Airport by the 901 bus. Sure it takes a while but the stop is close to where we live. A few people boarded at Broadmeadows...

    iPhone apps

    My partner and I are commencing a RTW itinerary next Monday. We both have Apple iPhones and are looking for suggestions how to arrange/organise the various apps which we will need for our adventure. We are both experienced travellers (pre-pandemic) and are reasonably "savvy" with our...

    Digital Passenger Declaration

    I am somewhat confused about the new arrangements - with imminent travel plans. My partner and I are due to leave Australia on 28 February. The new app isn't available until 1 March. So we will need to download whilst overseas? Then the travel plans will need to be entered seven days before...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    My partner's code arrived today. Sure we had to pay for a hotel we won't use but we considered that better than not doing it. But hasn't thought of applying for the paid version via one of the other cantons. I guess you win some and you lose some? Our main concern is Italy where, it seems, you...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    My partner has made a non refundable reservation in Geneva ($A140) and has resubmitted her application so fingers crossed this works. We are planning to use the certificate in Italy next month.

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    My partner has had the same experience. I applied separately last week and must have got in by the skin of my teeth! What options should we try now? We depart in two weeks.

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    I have both Amex and ANZ credit cards that have travel insurance as part of the deal. Until November 2019, I relied on either of those. However, in the different times of 2022 and with some overseas travel planned, should I be looking at different options? My domestic partner, who I will be...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    My partner and I are booked to spend a week in Rome early March but are seriously considering changing our plans because of what appear to be insurmountable hurdles getting an Italian "super green pass" even though there were indications the Australian vaccination certificate would be accepted...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    Early March, my partner and I are due to fly from Melbourne to Sydney to San Francisco. Then from San Francisco to Rome via Frankfurt. I see that Italy requires a "Super Green Pass" but I am not clear on how to obtain that. The websites I've looked at are somewhat confusing. Any assistance would...

    Transfer Desk at Changi

    I have booked (on one ticket) to fly Rome-Frankfurt-Singapore (LH) and Singapore-Sydney-Melbourne (QF) but am not clear on the requirements in Singapore. The connection at Singapore is 3.5 hours that may be a bit tight? Another option is to stay overnight at Singapore and take the direct QF...

    Seeking advice on RTW travel pl

    Thanks for the helpful comments. As a result, I've revised the itinerary with longer connection times. Additional charges (about 15% of the fare paid) seemed reasonable in the circumstances. We also have the opportunity to stay overnight (at our own expense) at Singapore and take QF direct to...

    We are booked on UA from Sydney departing 1400 on Monday 28 February. We are thinking of rebooking our domestic connecting flight from Melbourne to Sydney on the Sunday and staying overnight in Sydney. Do you think it is feasible to get the Histopath test in Sydney sometime after 1400 on the...
