Overseas Travel by Christmas - Our September Newsletter is hitting your inboxes now!
How excited are we?!?!?!
The borders WILL open by Christmas according to Tourism Minister, Dan Tehan, who made the promise in a virtual address to the National Press Club on Wednesday
“It’s another reason why everyone should get vaccinated and we have to stick to the national plan that will see our international border open up – at this rate by Christmas at the latest.”
It's time to start planning your holiday for next year NOW because we all know how crazy busy it is going to get with everyone desperate to travel overseas!
A great honour to once again sponsor Morningside Panthers annual Legends Lunch, this time as joint headline event sponsor, with guest speakers and AFL legends, Simon Black, Darryl White and Breanna Brock.
Community sporting clubs have been hit very hard the last 18 months so it meant a lot to us to be able contribute to their biggest fundraising event of the year and support the club that our son Joshua plays for and will do for many years to come I'm sure.
We were able to donate a travel voucher, 12 bottles of Barossa Valley red wine, thanks to our amazing brand ambassador Tyson Stelzer, and with our good friend David from Climacool Air Conditioning & Electrical we contributed to a 3 night package at Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort, all helping to raise invaluable funds for our beloved Panthers.
Already looking forward to next years event!
DID YOU KNOW.....most countries require you to have 6 months validity left on your passport at time of entry.
IS YOUR PASSPORT IN DATE? If not, renew it NOW.
Both the USA and UK (and I'm sure many other countries) saw a massive spike in renewal applications once borders opened resulting in backlogs and delays in getting new passports out, with many people's travel plans disrupted or cancelled as they did not have a valid passport.
We don't want this to be you!
DID YOU KNOW......
Qantas has has announced that the A380s will return to the skies – in July 2022, exactly two years after being sent to hibernation.
Initially, Qantas had said the A380 would remain grounded until 2023 at the earliest. However, an increase in demand for long-haul flights means the airline’s A380s will return a year early in 2022.
They obviously see the demand that is building up!!
Don't miss out on your holiday in 2022. Get in early before the mad rush once it is announced that international travel is back on.
DID YOU KNOW.....The first international immunisation certificates are set to be rolled out for Australian travellers in October.
International travel is due to begin when vaccination coverage for people aged 16 and over reaches 80 per cent, which could be only a few months away!
QANTAS is already planning their proposed re-start date of 18th December.
Qantas international flight searches tripled in last week as Australians begin preparing for travel.
So, don't be left behind. The time to start planning your 2022 holiday is...........NOW!
Dreaming of travelling overseas again - well it's time to start planning!! The lead-up to the return of international travel has begun.

'It's the first time I have used a Travel Agent to book a holiday in a long time, but Scott and Rachel are no ordinary travel agents. From my first brief to them about what we wanted, to the comprehensive travel app they provide and then personally calling us to ensure we had received information about the lockdown and not to worry, it didn't affect us. We had a fabulous trip to FNQ; it was so relaxing not having to be concerned about travel arrangements throughout our travels.'

What better way to end the week than receiving such a kind review like this one from an amazing client.....
Wow! These guys are just the best! Pre Covid, I used these guys to navigate all our travel needs in India and it was exceptional and everything was like clockwork. So when we needed to book our daughters flights from the other side of the world During COVID we knew we needed pros to cover all the fine details and deal with cancelled flights etc we chose these guys. They have gone above and beyond what normal travel agents and their systems are awesome and we knew they would be on call to help us at any time so I have 100% faith recommending them during these uncertain travel times.

How would you like to wake up to this view? And a skylight above the bed so you can sleep under the stars!
We had clients recently return from a trip we arranged to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia and this was the view from their verandah of their stunning eco-villa complete with rooftop skylight.
Throw in all the goods for an excellent breakfast, plus a bottle of local red and some ciabatta, olive oil and dukkah to accompany it and you're set for an amazing break.
