    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    Hey PineappleSkip, flying international. I've prepaid for a test with SNP in Cairns and they told me to advise the workers on the day of the test to have the sample ran in Cairns instead of them shipping it off to Brisbane. QML was quoting me 72 hours for the standard $150! Will post an update...

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    I'm checking daily to see if Qatar have extended the expiry period beyond 31st of December. I'm hoping that they do a small extension to their members due to the outwards travel ban :P

    Yeah, the UK are on their high-risk country list and PCR test is required, whereas Australia is still on their safe list and even remained on the safe list during the NSW outbreak and now the VIC out break so should remain there hopefully. From what I've read, anyone fully vaccinated from...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Has any one had any experience with Qatar and leaving Australia? My destination is Netherlands and they don't require a PCR test for entry if you are fully vaccinated and can show proof.

    Eye spy with my little eye... Edit: Well that was really easy to obtain. Took less than 30 seconds from start to finish. One thing I did notice is that Firefox doesn't save it as a pdf file and I needed to edit the file to add .pdf to fix the issue.

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I've been wondering the same thing, what happens to a person who arrives say in Sydney and they live in Cairns, Darwin, etc? They should at least allow people to go straight to the next flight to their home city.

    Qantas Domestic to Qatar Intl Baggage?

    Hey all, sorry for the late reply. Been busy with family since arriving in Amsterdam. So the luggage wasn't checked thru as expected and had to be collected in Sydney. Qatar opened their checkin counters 4 hours before flight departure instead of the usual 3 hours. While checking in with...
