In answer to the question do Travel Agents have the same problem the answer is "generally" no , Qantas have a specific Travel Industry team that we call, Its rare that we hold for more then 10 -20 minutes , more often then not it's less then 10 Of course in most cases we have the tools to...

I'm with Team Left! particularly in and out of Sydney

Very happy with Covermore I got stuck in the UK in march with a Covid positive result on my pre departure test Got the letter last week from them saying that my claim for the extra 10 days accommodation all covered and accepted and the money has hit my bank account. Got to say the first...

Well I just got back from a holiday in London , went and got a PCR test within 72 hours and you guessed it, positive! ( I wouldn't have even known I had Covid if it wasn't for the pre departure test) As I was originally flying in the evening, I didn't want to spend my last day running...

Yes totally! Mentally the thought that 5 hours into the trip you still haven't even left Australia and have a massive 17 hour sector ahead of you is enough to put the fear of god into me SIN for the leg stretch and the fact that its a beautiful airport and a calming oasis and destination in...

and though behind the other Australian states 86 percent double jabbed is still phenomenally good when compared to world standards

I took a deep dive through McGowan's Facebook and Twitter and I would say its around 70 - 75 percent support of his decision. The simple fact is the majority of people of WA are strongly behind him and support the border remaining closed " to keep them safe " I think the people of WA are...

All this talk of the possibility of asking for the 3 year banned to be waived next year, Do we really think the need for foreign passport holders to be vaccinated to enter Australia will be dropped in the next 12 months? I think he’s in for a long wait to return unless he rolls up his sleeve

So I thought I'd give REX a whirl ( for a leisure trip ) and flew MEL/SYD/MEL, up Saturday afternoon and back Sunday morning this past weekend. Booked Saturday morning literally a few hours before departure got $159.85 return Interestingly enough both outbound and return were pretty much...

Yep I wont mention the airline but a source there said to us that ultimately they are not liable If they are un vaxed and don't qualify at check in, that will be completely on them

A lot of good points raised in this thread from valid different angles I agree that the early departure from Sydney could be problematic but as @Mattg said there are a myriad of reasons why this early departure will need to happen from a operational prospective. We know that status QF...

There is actually a fair bit of business travel between Australia and India ( which has been well served by SQ/CX/MH ) so assuming QF can fill the front cabin with some high paying corporates this just might work. Agreed the rest of the market to India is VERY very price conscious but I suspect...

Correct , at my travel company we run reports on clients travelling to a particular country and changes to that countries entry requirements and pass on the information if and we receive it. If we know, we’ll contact you and tell you of the change but we can only advise and its ultimately the...

Great news! Though I hope this doesn't spook VIC into delaying the opening of the NSW/VIC border

As someone who works for another travel company the less said about Flight Centre and their practices the better, however that being said we as a industry should all be joining and helping F.C with this one

Dan did say in yesterday's press conference that he didn't know of any further cases from the protests but did make the point that the type of people who attended were probably very unlikely to go get tested.

You raise a good point about being able to cancel and credit travel arrangements. With negative Covid tests being required for almost all forms of international travel there must be a easy and fair path for travelers to follow if they get a positive result and maybe that should cover other...

In my opinion even Qantas are playing a wishful thinking guessing game as to what may or may not happen with international. I think the main decider on where fares go will be when foreign airlines come back to Australia and with what kind of schedule they bring with them. Right now there isn’t...

St Kilda beach is at the end of my street Last night when I went for my 1 hour walk for exercise there were so many people milling around together in large groups having a great time There was a group of around 7 police standing together watching proceedings There really wasn't a lot they...

Putting aside that we are all chewing at the bit to leave the country and many here on AFF have funds to absorb unknown costs that might arise I think even after the border opens, inbound tourism will remain mostly dead if a pre travel or on arrival Covid test is required. Australia is along...
