Questions remain...

WHILE the QF plan to resume operations from Nov has been welcomed by the travel industry, today’s announcement (see p1) confirmed that there is still uncertainty around procedures required for vaccinated travellers.

As well as mandating TGAapproved jabs for all passengers on QF and JQ international flights (TD yesterday), QF today noted that “as part of Federal Government requirements, customers on these flights will also be required to return a negative COVID test from an approved PCR testing site within 72 hours of departure”.

“The NSW Government will shortly advise details on additional testing requirements for arrivals,” Qantas added.

Fee-free date changes on QF flights departing before 31 Dec are on offer for bookings confirmed by the end of Feb.
