NSW Ends Quarantine – AIR071

Matt Graham

 

Yesterday, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet announced some big news: From 1 November 2021, vaccinated Australians will finally be allowed to leave the country, and return from overseas into NSW without having to quarantine.

There’s a lot to unpack from this announcement. Joining Matt to do so on this episode of AFF on AIR is travel agent and regular podcast guest Alan Lam from Netwave Travel. If you’re wondering which airlines are now flying to Australia, what requirements are in place to enter and transit through other countries, how travel insurance will work, and lots more, you won’t want to miss this interview!

Also in this episode, how to leverage your airline status to get a status match with another airline.
