The scary thing is that the Travel Compensation Fund is no more.

There is no safety net if you use eftpos or BPay - if they offer such options and the relaunch isn't due to deep pockets but to run off held funds for as long as possible. I hope the latter is not the case.

TCF copped a lot of cost when AN was shut down from those who paid cash. With a credit card you can at least have the charge reversed. Now there is no one there to pick up the pieces.

With the dead time in between stopping and starting there are a lot of costs such as leases and premises that won't go away.

I hope the pockets are indeed very deep.

Best all
