It seems Star Alliance is the alliance where it is hardest to get Lifetime Status with for an Australian traveller, unless one day where Air NZ or Virgin Australia joins Star. Meanwhile, SkyTeam must be the easiest. Just pay ~A$100K and SkyTeam Elite Plus is yours for life. No flying required...

Can you earn Qantas Points or Status Credits on Oman Air now? Seems that Qantas has yet to update it's Qantas Frequent Flyer earn categories.

Seat 20A and 20K is my preferred seat on Cathay and the small J cabin is definitely quiet and spacious. Highly recommended.

I have given up on Virgin Australia, until they joins Star Alliance again.

Note in the article he also says he cannot predict more than 3 months ahead. So assume if vaccination does make a difference, then we should see some light as developments go on. If vaccination does not allow borders to reopen, then why get vaccinated?

Then perhaps we can start to have international students arriving back in Australia and rescue the HE sector?

If they refuse vaccine then they should left with their own risk. We cannot wait anymore to open our borders because of a minority group that hinders us from leaving!

Here are the latest restrictions from each of the states:

I am concerned that with Northern Beaches outbreak, we are unlikely to go to NZ without quarantine until at least Australia Day, provided the cluster doesn't seed outside Northern Beaches.

Well at least NZ would have opened to us by then. So don't think it will be extended till June.

Need to quarantine on arrival and when coming back, need to quarantine as well.

So it seems things can open up quite quickly come Easter 2021 then. Because the Oxford Vaccine is manufacturing right now and plus Pfizer vaccine which we can see a couple of million people vaccinated by Easter, and hopefully become more widely available by Queen's birthday 2021.

If vaccines cannot stop the spread and can only reduce the severity, then I don't see a point of mandating vaccinations prior flights, because the argument of 'stop the spread' simply doesn't exist.

This is an excerpt from Nine News website: Source: How 10 million coronavirus vaccine doses will work in Australia As vaccines are not designed to stop the spread of COVID-19, but just to reduce its severity in humans, that could very possibly mean there is going to be outbreaks in Australia...

Which means if 5 million people are vaccinated and the borders do not open, we should joint together and have a legal action to sue the government and force the international borders to reopen, so that we can go back to where we come from!

That would be too late. By now we have already wasted an entire year's time getting stuck in Australia, I think this government should treat this travel ban extension as the last one and ensure we can have travel bubbles before 17th March, or I would arrange protests on the streets to force the...

It is official, International borders closed until 17th of March. Source: AFR. Well at least they should open to NZ and establish travel bubbles with Singapore etc. I hope this can be addressed at the National Cabinet meeting this Friday. I hope this is the last extension of the travel ban...
