"A clue è a clue, two clues are one coincidence, but three clues do proof" Agatha Christie said that, and who are we to contradict her.

In this article:

    News published by Executive Traveller reports how a few hours ago the national airline Qantas reopened reservations on its entire network starting July 1.

    It is worth mentioning that Australia has closed its borders to March last year and to date the latest news spoke precisely of a reopening in late 2021.

    In recent months, the strategic decisions of the company believed to be the safest in the world have always anticipated the Australian government's moves, such as when it came to suspending connections or when the bubble between Australia and New Zealand was activated.

    The period of July could also be the most suitable, being winter is the least busy period for travel to the Australian continent, it could therefore be used to test with reduced capacity all measures in view of the months of October/December i.e. what is the high season and usually experiences the highest influx of tourists.

    The second clue comes from other sources that the company has notified all crews in the long-haul fleet that they will soon begin all procedures for renewing the necessary certifications again.

    Will you have to be vaccinated to go to Australia?

    Even this clue could confirm how Qantas and the Camberra government are on the same page. In December, the company's CEO had said that in order to return to travel on planes with the kangaroo drawn on the livery would have required proof of vaccination.

    Just the vaccination plan of the Commonwealth of Australia, expects to have covered the entire population by the end of October, at least 3 months ahead of schedule. And this may have prompted the government to give the go-ahead for the opening of commercial flights again.

    What routes are bookable?

    In fact all starting with the daily connection to London, all routes to the United States, and the busiest route ever the Sydney Hong Kong which before the pandemic was served with Two daily flights from Qantas' A380, and which according to the airline's website will be operated with only one daily flight and with the smaller Boeing 787.

    If this is confirmed, it could be a great opportunity to go to Australia immediately after the reopening of the borders for a variety of reasons such as possible offers from both airlines and hotels and other activities to try to attract tourists, also counting on the fact that in Japan at the same time the Olympics will take place. summer.

    I personally find this great news since I will be in Australia in August on one of the stops on my world tour.
