        Might I just add, having assessed claims for more than a dozen travel insurance products; as far as I know, if a destination is listed as 'do not travel' by smart traveller, it will be excluded from coverage on most all policies.

        However, this experience comes pre-covid so there is a chance it might have changed but doubtful.

  • wjb on 25/10/2021 - 14:12

    Judging by the way Jetstar advertising one way flight I assume that flights returning to AU are expensive. No bargain unless you are intending to stay in overseas

    I'm kind of still reluctant to pay for any travel in advance right now. The stories of people trying to get refund through the pandemic were pretty bad. Even now, most of the companies that promise refunds have a disclaimer saying fees and charges are excluded.

    no way would I be booking anything before late next year. We are booked for Bali mid Oct next year with Garuda credit (will book the flights next year some time, once I know it will be ok) as we had a booked and paid for trip (flights and resort) May last year that has been continually postponed. Even mid Oct I am not 100% if things will be as back to normal as it can be. Finger's crossed. We were lucky that Melia allowed us to keep pushing the date forward and that we have the flight credits (although who knows how much the flights will be by the time we can book direct flights)

    • jackary on 25/10/2021 - 19:04

      If you’re staying at the Melia in Nusa Dua, you’ll have a great time. Was there in November 2019 for 2 weeks and it was excellent. Especially the food!

      • souths123 on 25/10/2021 - 19:27

        yes, this will be our 4th time there I think. I'm a Melia rewards member and stay in The Level for that extra bit of luxury….last time we were there we only just got out when the volcano was going off….left at 3am…Jetstar….was so lucky the pilots decided to go, as all the other Australian airlines cancelled all the flights, even though the ash was very minimal and only lasted for a few hours. We were the last ones out of the airport before they shut down.

Attitude is, if you don't like it tough luck…and if you are in need..then even worse… definitely don't want you here. It's part of the "we are all in it together' and "do the right thing" mantra..because of course the rules are fair and apply to everyone equally. Welcome to Australia!!

    I'm itching to go on holiday but the risk of the costs of the testing in Asia / no travel insurance coverage / not being able to fly home + heading into a local area where the virus is running rampant is simply too great.

      The costs for PCR tests could be outweighed by much cheaper hotels. Heaps of big brand 5 star hotels in Bangkok for under $100, team that with fewer tourists and it could be a golden time for travel, if the odds are in your favour.

    All these people complaining about PCR tests. If you're booking for March 2022 onwards, there's a good chance PCR tests will be scrapped or radically reduced by then.

    Just look at how quickly the UK has gone from a traffic light system to basically open-ended travel. Or how Australia has gone from hermit kingdom to quarantine free travel.

    World is rapidly normalising. Yes, things could get worse with a new variant, but that could happen at any point in time — if you wait until the world is free from infectious virus, you'll never travel again.

      Election in a couple of days in Japan, so conditions are still a bit tight as the politicians are focused on the campaign.

      I'm expecting conditions will soften (although I do expect you'll have to be vaccinated and do a pre flight test), within the next month or so. They have already changed it recently before the election from extremely tough criteria to this 10 day thing, and since the the loosing, the number of cases has dropped to a few hundred a day for the whole country.

      The airlines are also offering more flexible tickets, so if it doesn't pan out you can hopefully not lose out too much.

    Do not forget to include the cost of quarantine.

    For example, the Shangrila Hotel in Jakarta charges Rp 11.5 m ($A1,083.21) per person for 5 nights quarantine. The price includes airport pickup, room, meals delivered to your room and PCR tests.

    So far, no regular international flights have landed in Bali.

    Qantas is trying to get quarantine abolished or reduced for Indonesia. So far, Indonesia has not changed the quarantine requirements.

    • Gorodemon on 25/10/2021 - 16:15
      +2

      Do you know if we could pick our own hotel for quarantine? Additional 14 days stay at one of hotels in Mangga Besar is going to be much cheaper than Shangrila. The rest of the funds can be used for "fun room service" from the nearby joints.

    • alpsz94 on 25/10/2021 - 16:21

      Although a gamble, the key assumption here is that the associated quarantine/PCR requirements would fall away in due course for these "holiday destinations".

      Main things to consider are the price for insurance that covers covid 19 and the price for PCR tests. Factors to consider are family size and the duration of stay.

        Looked up insurance and surprisingly got a quote for ~$110 for a single for 10 days in Bali including covid coverage in July 2022. Single person - no kids. Whether or not we’re still doing PCR tests by then instead of rapid antigen tests remains to be seen but I guess there are still a few unknowns. Ahh!

  • whyisave on 25/10/2021 - 20:08

    In the past, this idea of being vaxxed, for the foreign government
    was that your chance of being sick in their country, would mean
    lesser burden on their health-system, insurance blow-outs, foreign relations management, etc.

    Now, we know that vaxxed, are also a vessel for carrying, sending & receiving the virus anyway.
    They can end up carrying a higher viral load, than others (this is a debatable tangent).

    So, both vaxxed & unvaxxed passengers still need to prove to airlines and destination countries,
    they are not carrying the virus, by using a test (sometimes in every country, involved in the journey).

    Apparently, this test is not a diagnostic tool, to conclusively say this or that is a virus,
    but it is what it is, and it's been used already, …but probably is changing soon. This is again, another tangent to the story.

    Now, many things could point to a false-positive at the beginning, or even a false-negative on departure,
    but the opposite result at the arrival, and vice versa.

    Each of these outcomes have very different consequences,
    eg. ready to leave but unable to board a flight, hotel quarantine in foreign country, home quarantine in home country, etc.etc…
    OR the worst outcome: actually being seriously sick again, with the virus.

    Either way, the outcome of the tests will really affect people's Annual Leave from work, and other commitments, eg. attending events/festivals, wedding plans, conferences, etc.

    Besides, these "tests" are being charged a lot of money too, that it can be prohibitive
    for the peace of mind of bureaucrats, lawyers and insurance companies as well.
    ( Families have to pay over AU$ 1000 on top of flights & accommodation,
    and even after paying, they can still have bad outcome from the test results )

    It looks like, carrying the virus or being exposed to the virus would be inevitable, whenever people will be around each other, sitting next to each other, breathing the same air-conditioned air in airports/buses/trains/hotels, etc.

    No vaxx prevents catching the virus, so the risk of catching a virus 100%, ie. it can always happen.

    Even if the symptoms don't present to the passenger, catching the virus is already the 'death-blow',
    because it will show up in the test, which will cause problems for getting on / off the flight.

    So, I hope, next year, there will be wider acceptance of the idea that the virus, or its 'variants', will be around,
    and we'll find out soon enough from the first batch of travellers, their experience and accepting a certain threshold,
    because infectiousness may not mean lethality.

        Hahaha….

        I was talking about the most important requirement now, before getting on/off flights.

        It's not a conversation about passports or visas.
        We are talking about infections here.

        I used to travel internationally 3-4 times a year.
        So, I was talking about this new process.

        No matter how attractive the flight deals are….even if they give away free plane tickets,
        to us all vaxxed people, this is new compulsory requirement, \
        which still has not proven itself to work yet…so, nobody knows how this will work.

        That's why I brought it up.
        So vaxxed AND non-vaxxed people need to look at it,
        through the context of infections, and how this will present on a PCR test,…
        …not only a PCR test in Australia, but a PCR test in every country they might be in.

        A PCR test can show someone vaxxed, carrying the virus,
        which could be the basis for canceling the flight, quarantine, etc.

        Imagine, 2 out of 4 family members have good PCR results,
        while the other 2, have bad results.
        And they're all overseas, waiting to return back to Australia.
        Does that family split up ?

        Carrying the virus itself is NOT a bad thing, in everyday life, especially when we're all vaxxed,
        if we are all fit, healthy and it will mostly be asymptomatic anyway.

        Having any evidence of this virus in the body becomes a bad thing, when getting on/off flights,
        and using PCR tests becomes a real sticking point, in the context of travels
        (this PCR test, the FDA and CDC have said, is not "conclusive" to even determine the virus in the 1st place)

        That was my point.
        A bit long-worded….but still.
        It's not about being vaxxed or not, haha….

        …it is the many ways, a vaxxed person can get caught up, with a bad PCR test result, eg. a faulty PCR kit (at US$ 100 each?)

        Say, even at an airport on your departure date, passing by an infected traveler who just arrived,
        and getting infected unknowingly.

        Then, jumping on the flight, with the infection, only to find out, on arrival in destination country,
        the PCR test is bad….

      I booked Phuket also for 6 weeks - likely travelling elsewhere too… Changes are afoot - COE is out and new Thailland Pass is in from the start of Nov to hopefully simplify things… Still 3.5 million baht covid insurance required ($180 or so) 1 test before leaving with medical cert and 1 on arrival (not sure of cost), and a stay in a quarantine hotel (cost per hotel) for 1 night while waiting on results… otherwise should be fine…..yes there is a risk of becoming covid positive on/before return which could complicate things - I didn't research return to Aus yet for entry requirements but homing test/home quarantine for results….. Not sure yet I'm doing the right thing but need travel back in my life…

    • evanssm2jp on 25/10/2021 - 22:23

    Sounds like a massive head case to travel anywhere in the next 6 months. Insurance or lack of no one wants cover covid. Having to test and prove u don’t have covid to fly out and back and then there the likelyhood you catch covid abroad even asystematic means u still need to isolate for 14 days and then could still test positive for 3 months after first testing positive so then needing to arrange a medical cert. just to fly home. No wonder the tickets are dirt cheap. Just make sure you know what your up for before deciding to purchase.
