Any word on when DFAT Smart Traveller country assessments will be updated? I'm interested to know if any countries will still be rated as "Do not travel" for Covid reasons (as that affects travel insurance typically).

Parts of Australia, you wouldn't be saying that in WA!It’s amazing to see how quickly this has all turned around.
Next week I’ll checkin with JL to fly to Tokyo, sit in the lounge for 7 hours then fly to London. No testing prior to departure. Zero. Nada. My £19 lateral flow test is already sitting in Birmingham waiting for me to wipe myself with on arrival and upload via an app. Then I’m done. Australia really did the worlds fastest u-turn.

The big ugly red banner on Smart Traveller is gone.
This is progress.....
It says right at the top of the website they're in the process of updating the travel advisories. Hang tight.Hmmm... the headline banner may be gone, and the site says they've removed their global 'do not travel' advisory... but the first fivee countries I checked India, United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Japan all say 'do not travel' due to covid. Singapore's warning is dated 27 October... so not like it is historic.
Of course you could view the changes as substantial, and be more than happy to check back later knowing that it will all become clear soon.Hmmm... the headline banner may be gone, and the site says they've removed their global 'do not travel' advisory... but the first fivee countries I checked India, United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Japan all say 'do not travel' due to covid.

Yeah the Singaporeans won’t be keen on a VTL if we have a Do Not Travel advisory on them.Of course you could view the changes as substantial, and be more than happy to check back later knowing that it will all become clear soon.
AFF Supporters can remove this and all advertisements

Interested to hear how you go, I'll be following in your footsteps in 3 weeks. From what I have read the lounge (only JAL First currently open) will not be open for the entire lay-over, its closed until 22:00.It’s amazing to see how quickly this has all turned around.
