"All foreign nationals will now be banned from entering Australia due to the coronavirus pandemic. Scott Morrison has hardened the closure of the nation’s borders, after earlier this week forcing all new entrants into Australia to self-isolate for 14 days. All Australian citizens, residents and direct family members will still be able to enter the country, but will have to self-isolate."

Hi Alan, Do you think they will just hold off issuing 143’s etc to those of us who are onshore, as obviously we cannot leave to activate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my interpretation at the moment ... what the PVC will say remains to be seen. Best regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathss56 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) @LindaH27 If you can change date for free I’d definitely leave it until later. If they are still charging fees probably in a few days/weeks they won’t be. Edited March 19, 2020 by Kathss56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Kathss56 Im booked with Etihad and apparently at the moment they will change but you have to rebook by August and Im not sure how long this ban is for. Think I will wait a bit longer as surely if UK is banning travel out and Australia are banning travel in, the airline will have to refund surely?? Also I see you’re onshore waiting for your grant - I really hope they don’t make you leave and come back to validate - I mean where could you fly to ??!!

Yes, they will refund if the flight does not go or travel is banned, but it's a gamble as by August, who knows ! We've changed the date of our travel (free of charge at the moment) as it's too big a gamble for us, can't afford to lose that money.

SusieRoo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) We have flights with BA on a still open route, except we can’t enter Australia now on a 600 visa. And it appears BA won’t automatically cancel these flights (Because the route is still open) and if we choose to cancel, we don’t get the full refund.

Can you change date for later in the year maybe best option. Everything changes daily and rapidly so they may let you cancel eventually. Qantas gave me a credit voucher for full amount valid until Mar next year Edited March 19, 2020 by Kathss56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
