    I wouldn't take the risks of intl travel in 2022. The beach nearby is all I need.

      Agreed. What they don't tell you is costs of testing, potentially 1 night in a quarantine hotel while waiting etc. You could need 4 tests, 2 for getting there and 2 for coming back.

        The cost, accessibility and acceptability of foreign PCR tests is what puts the fear of God into me re flying overseas at the moment. Its not going to be as simple as lining up at your local testing facility in whatever country you're in (assuming they even have them, which lots don't - even in the USA and UK, it's not easy to get a PCR test.) You'll need a special, verified test that will likely cost more than these flights.

        Not to mention the cost of a PCR test to enter the foreign country you're going to… Expect to pay another $300 for a verified PCR test before you even leave Australia.

Not sure if there is another country in the world which put jail and a fine on returning citizens. We all lost track on what is important.

              Sorry … when a government closes it's border in this way it's just a normal human thing to rescue the ones stranded. Not in Australia!

                  Ongoing the general impression I got was the Gov helped the backpackers and tourists back, but the dual citizens that were established in other countries had a harder time getting back, a lot seemed to only want to return to Aus when shit started going down bigtime in their country of residence ..

                  I always read the comments … ah it was so hard to not see your family for 8 weeks of lockdown. For some it is 2.5 years and I agree that people who left during between March 2020 and around now was risky and it's there own risk. On the other side planning security is important … as the government opens up the borders I guess it's unfair to say its again risky. Closing a border never worked (as we clearly see now!). You saw lots of travelling happen … politicians, sports people, business … is that really all in life. Do we really not care anymore. Sad.

        Many countries only need vax cert now and no test. So could only be test to depart and maybe one to come back into Aus.

        A small price to pay to get away in my opinion

            @PainToad: Utter nonsense. People die from disease and illness all the time - thats just the sad fact of life. Opening the borders when the population is 80%-90% vaccinated is common sense.

            And actually if some people die from sickness (or because they chose to not get vaccinated) but I get to see my family for the first time in 3 years - I'm actually ok with that

              @digitalane: Yep, if you die from being unvaccinated, which is by far the majority, then so be it. Everyone has the chance to be vaccinated now.
              In NSW and Vic for the current outbreak, there have only been 2 people die that were fully vaccinated and both in their 90's. If that doesn't tell you it works, nothing will.
              But yes, there will be additional charges for testing before flights, so don't expect international travel to be the same for a very long time.. A cost and inconvenience you need to consider before booking flights.

                @PainToad: Sorry … you don't die just because you travel overseas. Also the risk of getting a virus is not higher in many many countries of the world. Melbourne has higher case numbers than any city in Germany! And we also have a lower vaccination level in Melbourne (but yes … it's picking up fast).

                Maybe to not get vaccinated is selfish. Maybe to not socially distance is selfish. Not testing when you are sick is selfish! Not isolating when you have the virus is selfish! But to travel overseas to see family again after 2.5 years is now classified as selfish? Really?

                • PainToad on 26/10/2021 - 15:16

                  @mini_wombat: If we had kept the international boarders hard closed this year, Sydney and Melbourne wouldn’t of had outbreaks and there would of been zero deaths instead of hundreds.

                  QLD Government is predicting 200 people dying when the state opens its domestic boarders. That’s just domestically! God knows how many will die because of international boarders opening.

                  Death tolls aren’t just numbers. They are peoples’ loved ones they will never see again.

                  Edit: sorry if this is coming across as personally attacking you. I can’t imagine how hard it would be not seeing your family. I’m just very worried about a loved one who is vulnerable (even after being vaccinated).

Given the higher number of cases in Victoria I think the speed at which we are opening up is amazing. Frankly nobody knows where this will be in a few weeks time. We just have to hope we can get vax numbers up and hospital, and death, numbers down. Now, exactly, how long is the school “closing down?”

                        @try2bhelpful: Just 1 day. But close contacts have to isolate for 14 days. It recently happened at my workplace as well. For 1 covid positive and the whole shift was asked to isolated for 14 days. Is there any sense or science in their rules? What is the point of vaccination, if you keep on enforcing these rules after high rates of vaccinations. 99.999% of kids are not affected by this virus. Why do they want to close schools all the time like this?

                        • try2bhelpful on 26/10/2021 - 16:26

                          @[Deactivated]: Well because people are infectious and can pass it onto others. If you are a close contact then you may have got infected; particularly with the Delta variant. If people are vaccinated this will mitigate the situation but there is, still, some risk of passing it on to others.

                          With the provision of self test kits it might be possible to provide a suitable alternative to isolation but they would have to be reliable and we would need proof they had been taken properly. There are a bunch of issues that need to be resolved with these. Don’t get me started about the mob that sent these kits out with someone else’s saliva in them. However, I think they will be a good interim until the dust settles on this.

                          Kids aren’t vaccinated. We keep getting told they don’t “pass it on to each other” but why are kids tuned up “positive” so often? I’m pretty sure most parents wouldn’t be keen to send there kids back into a class where one of the classmates had Covid without some form of mitigation to ensure their kid wasn’t infected.

                          This is a whole risk/benefit analysis that changes continually. Right now we just do the best we can until we find the right levels going forward. Erring on the side of caution can be annoying but getting it wrong can be deadly.

    DONT get me wrong but only deals come out from Melbourne or Sydney origins only WHY NEVER EVER any other capital cities.

    Seems to me they only care about $$$ from those two big cities

      They're the only states (ACT too I guess) that have a plan to live with COVID. QLD is slowly coming around.

        No it has nothing to do with that, there are never deals departing from ADL, or any other non popular cities (i.e. other than Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane) any time around the year

      The covid fiasco caused that spread to Melbourne because of Gladys' negligence?
      Wonder if Murdoch jks off to comments like these every night

        I'm sure he does. Creating a divide and further undue animosity between Australians makes alot of wealthy people more wealthy.

    I wonder how long every travel post on OZB is going to be clogged with the same, tired old comments.

    'No way I'll be travelling anywhere', 'I'll be holidaying at home', etc etc etc.

  • payless69 on 26/10/2021 - 09:27

    Wow! Thanks op!
    Tight prices, afterpay is invoking surcharges to customer!

  • sleek on 26/10/2021 - 09:28

    The flights SYD to PHUKET change to $117.93 or $118 each each way. When you click on the date for $149 it changes to $117.93 or $118. Must be a glitche?

      Hi,

      The $149 price is offered by Jetstar.com. Once you choose exact dates then we get prices from MyTrip, Gotogate etc which may be cheaper.

      • sleek on 26/10/2021 - 10:21

        great! is this a new offering from Jetstar.com?

        • digitalane on 26/10/2021 - 15:16

          Now more than ever I wouldn’t buy from a reseller. If you have the slightest issue you’ll thank yourself for paying a few dollars more and booking direct

            @digitalane: This is booking direct via Jetstar.com.

    Just booked Jetstar return from Syd to Bali for $671 for 2 people
    With my amex card for travel insurance purposes
    Including extra baggage on return leg and additional Jetstar return/change of mind policy thingy
    Over the June public holiday (NSW)

    • xyron on 26/10/2021 - 10:20

      your amex travel insurance won't cover any COVID related hiccups.

      • sleek on 26/10/2021 - 10:27

        would any?

        • xyron on 26/10/2021 - 10:31

          apparently not - need to get expensive top up insurance (and some countries like thailand, require it): https://www.traveller.com.au/covid19-and-international-trave…

          In my opinion, these posts offering "cheap" overseas travel deals really need to have these disclaimers in them.

        • muncan on 26/10/2021 - 10:32

          Do hiccups need coverage tho?
          Just drink a glass of water.

      • activ8newbs on 26/10/2021 - 10:31

        That really sucks. But I also paid an additional ~$60 for the option to add a flexibility add-on to my flight. Hoping that would help with the same.

        At least it's not early 2022. Booked for June. Hoping for normality by then!

        • linkii on 26/10/2021 - 12:58

          What does the flexibility add-on do?

          Although the flight is cheap. Bali still requires 5 days quarantine on arrival. Hopefully by June these restrictions will ease. Otherwise I will not expect any refunds from Jetstar.

            @linkii: I think it gives me the option to essentially convert my payment into a gift card in the case of covid

          mmmm, I paid for that too. But I think it means you can cancel for no reason and they give you a voucher with an expiry of 3 years. (And I think it includes some add-ons credit too)

          I booked for late August. SYD<->Bali.

    The risks associated with international travel in 2022 are too much for me.

    All this covid testing around trips. What if you get a positive? Trip cancelled and lost money. What if you get stuck in quarantine OS or on arrival back in Aus?

    Waaaaay too much risk. No thanks.

    then add the $1800 per person for 2 weeks hotel quarantine in perth…

    Someone posted this fancy website the other day. You say where you're flying from, to, the dates, your passport country and your vaccination status. It tells you all the restrictions, tests and rules currently in place for your destination in that period (with references - all other websites and media take note), which could (and probably will) change by that time.

      I tried a combination of NSW and Japan and I think it's out of date as I don't think it has all the rules post November 1st in there, so maybe not the best source for information.
