If you're a bit of a Flight enthusiast like myself, check out Flight Radar. I like to see what airlines are flying to Australia, if they're passengers planes, cargo or private.
It gets me thinking...where to next?

***Repost from head office ***

Can you remember the last time you got one of these? What are they you ask? Cheques.💸 Individual cheques that have travelled over 11,000kms with each of our customers' refunds. We still receive refunds by cheque in the mail from our US suppliers. From cruise lines to hotels, here's one of today's cruise refund deliveries to head office. So if you were wondering why your refund is taking a little longer than expected, it may be that the cheque is *literally* in the mail. ✉️

My heart goes out to all those affected, not just from yesterday's outcome where doors shut and people were stood down, but to the general public. It's a tough time for everyone.

Together we are strong!

To our valued clients,

It’s unprecedented times in the travel industry right now and with the current situation regarding the continuing spread of COVID19 (Coronavirus) through many countries around the world, airlines and cruise companies have been drastically reducing services to multiple destinations, even to countries not yet affected by the virus.

As a result, many of our customers who are already booked to depart or who are already overseas on holidays are experiencing travel disruptions resulting in an increased workload for our amazing staff, Kat, Iona and Katie and our valued suppliers to try to reaccommodate customers onto other flights/cruises/accommodation/coach tours.

Due to the urgency requiring us to attend to current bookings, our response time to many of your emails for booking requests, will be based on departure dates and most prominent travel warnings.

We would ask for your co-operation over this period and ask the following.

🌎 If you are booked to travel beyond April, please be patient. According to the reports there is absolutely no rush to make a decision to cancel your holiday, at this point in time we are trying our best to assist people departing or who have already departed this month and next to at risk and/or affected destinations.

🌎 Presently, as at 18th March - Tour companies, cruise lines and our valued suppliers including many airlines have suspended some of their operations until at least 30th April 2020 *
After that who knows

🌎 If your travel is of purely domestic nature, there are absolutely no restrictions on travelling anywhere within Australia

🌎 Please be aware that if you decide to cancel your holiday, interstate or overseas you may still face cancellation and/or amendment fees. Airfares that were purchased which were NON-REFUNDABLE at the time of purchase, remain non-refundable. The only exception to this may be for a country that is declared a no travel zone by the Australian Government. Individual airlines are examining their own networks and routes and may decide to offer a credit for future travel not necessarily a refund.

🌎 If you intend to defer or amend bookings to other destinations currently not mentioned as do not travel destinations amendment fees are likely to still apply.


So we ask that you bear in mind that this is all very new and unprecedented for us and the Travel Industry as a whole. Things are not set in stone, and remain very fluid. We thank you in advance for your co-operation in this matter during this period of heightened anxiety whilst we try to keep on top of everything coming through to us that demands our immediate attention.

We are all in this together and can assure you that we at Flight Centre Birkenhead Point have your best interests in mind and your health and happiness is of our primary concern.

Thank you so much to our wonderful clients and friends that have offered us so much support and friendship over the 30 years, especially the past few weeks, moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post

Warm regards,

KatrinaC, Kat, Iona & Katie

*30th April 2020 is a collective date and individual companies may extend beyond

To all of my family, friends & amazing clients that have reached out to see if myself, my team & my company are okay....thank you!!! But please be assured that as much as it is challenging times for the tourism industry globally...Flight Centre & Birkenhead Point FC are A-OKAY! 👌🏼 Yes, some are closing but they were always in the works to do so well before this virus saga, staff from those stores were relocated to other stores, and we are still opening new stores...a lot comes down to location and demand, FC are just making smart decisions.

We will still be here to assist you in every way possible with any changes to existing bookings and still booking travel! ✈️ With everything going on at the moment I am so grateful that my clients saw the value in using an agent, I am sure they would much rather know we have this under control for them then having the stress to deal with themselves.

We do what we do because we love it...but feel free to give us a big hug when you see us next 😙

Important information on Corona & your travel plans:

The smart traveller website provides the latest travel safety information for Aussies headed overseas - http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/

From 1 March DFAT have changed the travel warnings to 6 countries.

China & Iran - level 4 do not travel. China is the epicentre of the outbreak, Iran due to the rapid spread of the virus and perceived weakness of their health system.

Japan & South Korea- Both countries have been advised as a level 2- exercise a high degree of caution. Government does not recommend travel at this time, however both countries have a strong robust health systems.

Mongolia- Recently increased from level 1 to 2. The reason is although they do not have any reported cases, the health system is perceived to be weak and the Aus government has limited consular capabilities.

Italy- has increased from the lowest level to level 2. Exercise caution.

Changes to government travel warnings are based on fact and information from multiple credible sources. The fact that so few warnings have changed should give travellers comfort as to the seriousness of this virus

If you are travelling in the next 2-3 months

Closely monitor www.smartraveller.gov.au and the information available on www.who.int.
Check with your insurance company as to the level of coverage you have.
Check with your tour operator as to the status of your tour.
Your decision to travel should be based on the advice from the above sources taking into account your personal circumstances – consult with your doctor regarding any increased risk.

If you are travelling from 1 June 2020 onwards

Do nothing now. The situation will likely change significantly in the next 3 months and making a decision to cancel or delay your booking now may result in unnecessary cancellation and amendment fees.
Keep monitoring the information sources above and keep regular contact with your travel consultant.

There is an outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). We are keeping all our travel advisories under close review in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer and our network of overseas embassies and consulates. We have raised our advice level for six countries: China, South Korea, Japan, Mongoli...
