Migration travel with Coronavirus

[Expatriate123 15]

Hi need some guidance. My travel facility on my PR189 visa expires in Nov2020. Although I am planning to fly down to Australia after sometime late Aug2020 when the virus situation is expected to be under control. However, I just heard some news that some flights will put a hold on all flying to Australia. And also few middle eastern flights have been asked to limit the economy passenger to a very small number and so prices are now sky rocketted. 

Any one with travel plans soon, please share / advise, if no flights then hiw do we plan to travel to be within the due date.

There are still flights, but yes they at be expensive and you need to factor in you will need to spend 14 days in quarantine, which I believe now must be paid for by yourself

All flights now have limits on the number of people they can carry, not just those from the Middle East. And this is likely to continue until well into next year, if not longer.

Hi 

 All incoming passengers are monitored and most States have now capped how many per week are allowed in. There are still flights, just not as many and at inflated costs. If you have a read through this thread there are a few people in a similar situation to yourself so you may find it answers some of your questions -
