So I will come in here. The lock downs have caused a travel crisis ? True. But why is it such a big thing? The lockdowns are ( I hope) saving lives in ( at least ) Australia and NZ. If Ek and others can’t operate 30 flights a week into Australia.. well that could be the new normal . Im on leave here for a month.. I’m in Western Australia. We want to go away for a week. Everything is full. Western Australians are travelling at home.

Overseas travel is finished. For a long time. It’s not coming back. Even if I wanted to go overseas ( if I was allowed to).. no insurance company will cover me.

Im sorry.. but as much as you hope for that things will go back to how they were.. with 100 EK jets departing around the world between midnight and six am.... it’s over for a long time.

IMHO
