Agent comes to the rescue for Kiwis

A TRAVEL agent from Vincent George Travel in Dunedin has recently come to the rescue of her Kiwi clients stranded in Perth, organising a trip home via Singapore to circumnavigate travel restrictions.

The Director and Personal Travel Manager of the agency, Rosann Connolly-George, said she was able to arrange the travel plans for the Auckland-based couple just before the Alert Level 4 lockdown in NZ kicked in.

”It’s not as simple as...’ I’m going to travel via Singapore to come home’, you need to have a lot of things lined up in order for this to happen smoothly,” Connolly-George said, adding that it’s far from ideal but is there for those who are desperate and have a valid passport with more than six months’ expiry left to run and are prepared to pay more for it to happen, she told stuff.co.nz.
