Qantas has crossed the finish line in its Perth to Paris inaugural marathon!

We wonder how many chants of Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! took place during this Olympic marathon effort.

The new direct flights between Perth and Paris marks the return of the Flying Kangaroo operating services to the City of Light for the first time in 20 years. With seamless connections from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other major cities, Perth will be the gateway to Paris for Australia.

Flights will initially operate four times per week over the busy European summer and Olympic and Paralympics before moving to three services per week from mid-August. The new route will add an additional 75,000 seats between Australia and Europe each year.

Travel rule changes for NZ!! 🛫

New Zealand Traveller Declaration and changes to eGate eligibility
With an expected increase in travel to New Zealand in the coming weeks, it’s important travellers are aware that everyone travelling into New Zealand needs to complete a New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD). This includes babies and children.

The NZTD collects travel, customs, immigration and biosecurity information. It’s free and can be started at any time. The earliest it can be submitted is 24 hours before a person starts their trip to New Zealand, and it must be submitted by the time they reach passport control in New Zealand.

The NZTD can be done online at www.travellerdeclaration.govt.nz or on the NZTD app.

Recent changes mean 10-year-olds can now use Customs’ automated eGates on arrival and departure from New Zealand.
