    I’d highly recommend you factor in the cost of PCR tests for travel. These are done at Pathology clinics for $140-$300 depending on test type and result speed.

    Eg: Fiji clinics charge approx 350FJD ($226) the PCR test required for return back to Australia.

      thanks, this is crap, was looking at a trip to Fiji but that additional cost is putting me off,

      Yep, was looking at it. Family of 4 needs to factor in $1200+ just on PCR tests alone.

      This ain't cheap trips.

      • whyisave on 25/10/2021 - 19:11

    • Foxxster on 25/10/2021 - 14:01

      And what happens if you test positive? Are you allowed on the aircraft to return to Australia? Or do you have to quarantine, stuck in a hotel room for two weeks. And who pays for that? Do any travel insurance policies cover such costs? And what does your work say when you can’t return for another two weeks. And what If you are casual and don’t get paid for those two weeks or have used up your holidays.

      And there is also the cost of the test you MUST get at the airport before you leave which is another $150 per person. And no, you can’t get your own test beforehand. You HAVE to get one at the airport. I heard you had to get the test at the airport but that may not be the case. Either way you need a test before you go which is around $150 a person or $600 for a family of four.

      If you take a look at the number of cases per day in the UK, it is a definite possibility you could contract WuHu flu over there especially when you consider as a tourist you will be out a lot. Catching public transport, eating out and going to pubs etc, spending time in museums and galleries and other tourist spots. Plus shopping. Good luck affording an extra two weeks in London with your family. Paying last minute hotel prices.

      • kenzstar on 26/10/2021 - 00:30

        Hi Resin, do you know when Vietnam borders will open for fully vaccinated travellers?

        • Resin on 26/10/2021 - 16:46

          The current estimate is around March/April as Phu Quoc island is demonstrating a trial opening from Nov 20- Mar 20 for fully vaccinated travellers. Originally it was pitched as a staging area for tourists where you would have to stay 1 week then you could enter the mainland afterwards. However, I believe that will not happen and the government will open earlier as everything changes on a frequent basis here.
          So I would say, it will probably open after Tet (Lunar New Year) because they like to start the new year fresh during Tet

          communism in simple terms means that the community is more important than the individual and removes an individuals personal choices for the greater good.

        I don’t think you know what communist means. We’re bargain hunters, meaning we want to pay the cheapest price, which means we are willing to pay money to get things we want, which is inherently capitalist. Communism is about sharing resources allocated by the state.

        • justfrog on 25/10/2021 - 19:52

          Are you sure about that 'sharing resources' part?

        • yama131 on 26/10/2021 - 09:35

          Forcing an individual to do something (vaccination) for the health benefit of others is a communist ideal.

        How about you look up the definition of communism before you make another stupid comment like this.

        "I have to do something I don't like = communism"

        Good job singling yourself out as an uneducated idiot.

        • yama131 on 26/10/2021 - 09:38

          How about you think further than the reach of your hand.

          If I were to make you stop smoking because second hand smoke is a danger to other people in the community, that would be communism.

          Vaccine mandates force an individual to do something for the sake of others.
          Communism is not just about sharing money and resources around, its an ideal that can be applied to other areas.

Are these international vaccination certificates recognised and useful to bouncers and other non-governmental orgs?

    • morebunnings on 25/10/2021 - 18:25

      Nz border entry fee is now $45ish. That affects the price a bit. I think Auckland airport put their passenger rate up too. Nearing $20 for international arrivals. That's added into the ticket costs. I'm guessing Asia fees are cheaper.

      • fchis on 25/10/2021 - 20:43

        NZ border is fee free for Australian passport holders. I believe the Asia has more flights come in and out from Australia which creates more supply.

        Thai health system is very very good. Hospitals especially in bangkok are world class. Can’t speak for the other countries however I imagine there would be certain hospitals in major capitals that are up to scratch. My issue is who pays. As in are there any travel insurance policies that genuinely cover covid costs, not just medical costs but also any hotel quarantine costs etc that you would be up for if you test positive overseas.

          Can confirm; have dragged my mates to hospitals all across Asia (we like our trips on the rough and tumble side) and a the random Bangkok emergency room down the road from my hostel offered service well beyond that of what we received in Hawaii for example.

          My mate spent all night there under observation in his own bed with one doctor available at all times and nurses and received a prescription to manage after - we even paid out of pocket and it was only $100 or so.

    • devilbabies on 25/10/2021 - 14:44

      Does anyone know how many PCR test are required? Is it 2 to go and 2 to come back?

      2 adults + 1 child * 4 tests each = 12 PCR tests.

          To go to Thailand you need one test in Australia before you leave and another test in Thailand after you arrive.

          Not sure if it's the same to get back to Australia. (also wondering whether the Aussie government will cover the cost of the final test when you return).

            https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/map-and-…

            It's on every 'redlist', zero travel insurance coverage, can't guarantee getting the required PCR test to leave and a very high chance of catching COVID when you are there meaning you could be stuck for months until the PCR tests clear.

            If you are a backpacker with no plans, it would be an awesome time to visit, if you're a regular tourist planning a 2 week trip then nah, bad idea (IMO).

              Terrible for backpackers too.

Probably higher prices and less choice for many activities that you'd want to do too.

    Presumably no insurance policy will cover COVID for some time.

    What happens if / when you catch COVID while overseas? 14 days quarantine in a hotel in the foreign country at your own expense? Seems prohibitive… especially somewhere expensive like Hawaii.

    • worthy1 on 25/10/2021 - 14:02

      Exactly or more importantly what happens if you or a family member are suddenly at the whim of that countries health system because of catching it (especially un vaxed kids).

    • Jamryu on 25/10/2021 - 14:27

      There are already insurance companies covering this. HeyMondo has been a pretty popular one among Australians that have travelled over the pandemic. They cover quarantine if you catch covid and are required to quarantine.
