It's been one month since I booked my flights to Sydney. The headline news is that, covid is running riot through parts of Sydney and the city remains in lockdown. As a result, the Australian government has once again slashed the number of allowed inbound passengers from 6000 to 3000 per week. In addition, the process to leave Australian Shores for Australians has changed with the introduction of a new approval to depart. Hong Kong has also responded to the current state in Australia, with the reclassification of Australia to a 'medium risk' country. Things are becoming more difficult.
So what does this all mean?
From a flight perspective, suddenly there are no more available flights to Australia and there's a high chance my existing flight, or at least my ticket might actually be canceled. Secondly, I need to look into the approval process to leave the country, depending on how strict this process is, there's a chance they might decline my reasons to return to Hong Kong. Finally, travellers from Medium Risk countries are now required to fulfil a 14 day quarantine period. So quarantine from Australia has moved from 7 days back to 14 days of hotel quarantine. All these things are not ideal.
