Hi, next week I am flying Qantas on a domestic flight out of Melbourne, that connects in Sydney to a flight to LAX. I will be getting my COVID test at Melbourne airport before I fly. Does anyone know if you need the test result back in time for the domestic Mel to Syd leg? Or do I just need it for the international leg Syd to Lax. Thanks!
Do I need COVID test result for domestic leg of Mel to Lax flight?
