[Himeno]

Is this a thing again, or does Qantas not bother to update their email templates?

They didn't update it. Nor needed.

I got almost the same email from American Airlines yesterday because I have a journey from Cartagena to Miami in two days time.



30 seconds to fill out the Hotel address, my email etc and it’s happy

Do you mean it’s not needed to fill in? By the wording of the AA email you do have to doit.

It's still a US federal requirement, the order doesn't expire until 2026.

That makes more sense.

The QF app is also asking for this info.
I don't remember if they wanted it for my QF7 flight in mid 2023.

Though I'm not sure why you have to give them the same info more then once, since they already have this info from APIS.

I’m guessing that during the pandemic it was a simpler way for them to file away contact tracing information rather than trying to extract it from APIS. Cross agency data sharing may have been messy, especially if they needed it ASAP.
