    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    I'm not sure how strict they are there. But FYI we're currently in Italy and although a few places have struggled with our QR codes not 'reading', no-one has turned us away as yet. They just take a good look at the dates to ensure we've got what we need using the international covid cert via...

    So glad it worked. At least I got over here. Now just need to work out how to get back. Zero communication from Qantas yet, unsurprisingly.

    Thanks for checking. I definately have my next boarding pass in hand, and waiting at the gate for the final flight now. I'll try to buzz them when I get there. I tried the Qatar number whilst I'm here in HIA but it just rings out. Hopefully that number gets us through. 1648359661 Thanks for...

    Hey everyone. I'm in need of some pretty urgent advice. I'm currently mid-way through my outbound trip using OWA to get to Italy, and return home from France. Due to many muck arounds one of my domestic flights repositioning in Oz ended up being economy, which I later successfully upgraded with...

    I verbally confirmed every flight, number, carrier and time with the CSR on the phone before confirming and paying fees. So I didn't think it was too crazy of me to assume that this was then what I was actually getting and paying for. I don't know anything about the Check My Trip system, host...

    UPDATE: After three operators, several drop outs and many hours I finally got my chosen alternative with call centre last night confirmed and paid for. But refused to ticket. After waiting overnight I decided to start calling again to push the ticket in fear that some QR flights would disappear...

    I've been trying to book this OWA since 2018 - so I've got a very detailed spreadsheet with all of my previous routes, changes, planning and two alternative routes already here in front of me ready to go. I always go in prepared because each experience with the call centres I've had during...

    Unfortunately I'm late to the party and have only just found this suggestion in the forum today. I've got it now, so may help for future issues. Regardless, still a joyous call (or perhaps many) to the call centre today to try and find something (anything) to get me to where I need to go.

    In case this is still of interest to someone - I recently stumbled across my MEL-NRT being cancelled without notice in 4 weeks time. No contact, explanation or offer of alternative. This is after booking it on 11 Feb...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    That's great to hear. Pity we've got 3 weeks in Italy before we get to France. Sounds like it would have been easier going the other way for us.

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    Thanks. I've got both of those. But I've still heard of many struggling to get the paperwork accepted without the Swiss pass and the QR code.

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    Thanks! I guess that's the only option. Although I hear finding a pharmacist in france sometimes takes a couple of goes. I wonder if GPs in Italy are similar. And I wonder if this still applies since the new policy came into play.

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    It's absolutely crazy that in the top 63 countries that get equivalency, there's an ongoing block for those looking to travel from Oz. Sigh

    Heading to Italy in just under 6 weeks. No idea what I'm going to do now. I have no faith in printing the Oz cert plus ministry letters.

    Does Italy count List E for transits?

    Hey guys, Can anyone help me make sense of the 2022 Italy restrictions. I've looked everywhere but I can't get a definitive answer for transit locations. I'm looking to travel from Aus via SIN-DOH-FCO or KUL-DOH-FCO. But both SIN and KUL are list E countries. Does anyone have experience with...

    Okay thanks. I'll try there too. Was secretly hoping someone here with more knowledge of OWA routes might be able to help me see other options that I may be missing.

    **Edited** I'm looking to travel from Aus on a OWA via SIN-DOH-FCO or KUL-DOH-FCO. But both SIN and KUL are list E countries (ones that require a quarrantine period). I'm still not sure if these transits are counted if I stay airside. At the moment I can't think of any other way to get to FCO...

    Minimum transit still apply if if checked through?

    Thanks for the confirmation. Unfortunately the flights I was considering re this option have since been taken as contacting Qantas has become a 2-week long struggle. I really appreciate everyone's help. I've been planning this OS trip since 2018 and I'm still yet to have an opportunity to take...

    Minimum transit still apply if if checked through?

    Amazing thank you! I didn't know that. Perhaps it's acheivable after all. I knew it was unique, but all I had access to was the generic stuff available on the website. I really appreciate it. I'll look into it more.

    Minimum transit still apply if if checked through?

    Okay thanks for the information. The search tool was prompting me with that option so I wasn't sure. But perhaps if I escalated to purchase, it wouldn't let me proceed with the sale. Although this is a change to a OWA so I'll have to face the dreaded call centre to make any sort of changes...
