    DFAT Warning [Do NOT Travel overseas]

    What are the implications for booking flights now for travel later in the year, banking on the Do Not Travel being lifted in time? Possible to book now, buy insurance once Do Not Travel is lifted, and fly as per normal?

    One case is with an infant, you only pay taxes on VA but have to add 10% of the adult cash fare on SQ (can particularly hurt for one-way bookings).

    We used to have access to a Delta lounge at HNL on HA-ticketed flights to Australia (at least back in 2015), bummer that it's now codeshares only.
