Please note that there are significant delays in passport processing at this time❗

The latest statement from the U.S. Department of State mentions that expedited processing will take up to 12 weeks and regular processing up to 18 weeks 🛂

If you need to renew or apply for a new passport for winter 2021 and spring 2022 study abroad, you should do so as soon as possible.

Your passport should be valid for 6 months after the end of your program, which means that if you currently have a passport, and the expiration date is BEFORE December 2022 or so, you should definitely renew now.

More information about US Passports and the application process can be found at the Department of State Passport website (see ).

The travel industry hasn’t always welcomed everyone. These people want to change that.

A wonderful and important step that hopefully others will follow!

For people in regional WA, having to travel to Perth sometimes is just a fact of life - whether it's for business, medical care, or just to see family.

So the high cost of airfares isn't just a frustration - it can be genuinely unfair.

We're taking action, and if re-elected, we'll build on the discounted flights we've already delivered by capping the cost of ALL flights between Perth and regional WA for regional residents.

An amazing opportunity for those on the medical front lines, including those who haven't been able to travel before!

Although Popular Mechanics paints a troubled future for budget airlines, it argues they've left a lasting imprint on the industry by driving legacy airlines to adopt cheap transatlantic Basic Economy fares. This, combined with low oil prices and increased seat capacity, should protect against skyrocketing prices.

The death of Wow Air is a grim sign of things to come for other discount airlines.
