Thanks for your replies about my rellies home flight. Yes you are correct. EK have dropped Adelaide while this virus thing is going on. I knew they would along with all International flights eventually but thought it might not be until April.
Anyway end result is Austravel is now handling their home flights and are working through the backlog in date order. So we expect to be contacted in a few days as to new flight details. I notice Singapore came in today still so perhaps they will be routed via there or via Syd,Mel, Bris ?
The panic started for us here because of EK's poorly composed message about their flight being cancelled and contact to your travel agent. Sounded like they were being abandoned. A better message would have been something along the lines of" EK has cancelled all flights due the virus alternative arrangements are being made . Contact your travel agent for details"
Thanks again crisis over!
Stay safe and hope this thing ends sooner rather than later for all concerned.
