As referenced above, a couple of airlines, including Etihad and Emirates, have made the codes public on their websites, which I picked up on in another thread. I used the EK code but I believe you can use any airline code to access the app. Getting it to work effectively may be another story...

Understood. Thanks @Matt_01

Matt_01 can you confirm that F lounge in MEL will reopen on 1st Nov (according to your sources)? Thanks tb

After multiple attempts I cannot get the TP to scan my passport chip

Understandably, I think there is a bit of confusion here between IATA and ICAO. IATA is the International Air Transport Association, which is a trade association of the world's airlines, supporting technical and operational safety standards. They developed and manage the IATA Travel Pass...

Thanks Skip. The VDS-NC checker app also worked for me. Sadly, my QR code did not scan successfully on a European individual country check-in app I just scanned it with, which kind of defeats the purpose for me. I have also applied for vaccination recognition via the French EU code system, so...

You are, of course, 100% correct. I am very supportive of the seemingly new pragmatic risk-based approach to decision making in NSW, I just wish they had taken a bit more heed of the lessons and experience of others (yes, including last year's failures here in VIC) when things were going well...

Not sure which part of the story is old ~ feels pretty current to me just now :oops: Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with Mr Perignon's "action man" approach and also hope that it prompts similar initiatives here in Victoria.

I believe that testing requirements should and will be maintained as an additional safeguard for some time, as fully vaccinated people can still catch & carry the virus.

Good idea. While you are at it please don't forget to thank him, Gladys and colleagues for sending Delta down our way in the first place, and for their appalling lack of vaccination and PPE standards for limo drivers picking up international flight crew which sparked the outbreak in the first...

I agree with most of your points but believe that the huge downside for carriers would be if the seats are sold, and then they have to subsequently cancel and refund bookings for numerous pax because they are only allowed to carry restricted numbers inbound. For example, CX, SQ, EK, QR and...

For those interested, my TA is reporting new availability for flights BKK-SYD on TG in early December, some dates in November

Hello Skip, Thanks for the tip about Heymondo, which looks like decent and relatively affordable cover. Have you had or heard about any experience with making claims? Thanks, tb

He wouldn't have been so famous (or pilloried) if the government/s (Fed and NSW) had developed, implemented and enforced PPE standards and vax requirements for HotelQ transfer drivers...

Try ITA Matrix ~ deluxe version of GoogleFlights, but still free ~ I can see many options for SYD-LHR picking random dates in mid-March
