Hello po! Pagdating sa AU, passport lang po. Hindi na hinahanap ang anumang docs kasi nasa system na nila ang visa natin. Pwede din dala ka lang panigurado po. Goodluck sa BM. Kelan po kayo?

Hi @crankygrinch and all!
I received notice of cancellation of MEL flight sometime last week. That was anyway to be expected. We immediately re-booked for SYD, waitlisted for a couple of days and got our seats over the weekend. Flight is same day of original MEL flight - Aug 11. Original booking reference applied. Still economy class. No change to total cost.
We are now in Sydney on our fourth day of hotel quarantine. We had our first swab test yesterday. Next on the 10th day.
Everything has been great on our quarantine, food and accommodation
On our request to waive the hotel quarantine charges, we are yet to receive the decision.
That's my update for now.
Good luck and God bless us all!

Thank you po sa update. I hope all is well
Sa sydney na po kayo magsettle? O lilipad po ba kayo sa melbourne after the lockdown doon? Doble quarantine yun noh? ๐ฑ Sana nga ma-waive ang charges nyo sa sydney.
Baka kasi same mangyari sa husband ko. Gusto ko lang prepared kami sa ganitong scenario hehe. He'll be flying october 2. Wala pang cancellations, but i heard kasi na melbourne is planning to extend their lockdown period.

Regarding po sa quarantine fee waiver, by email lang po ba ninyo ito ginawa and upon arrival po ba gagawin ito? Thanks

Yes nabasa ko nga until mid Sept ang stage 4 restriction. After ba nun stage 4 magdowngrade to stage 3? With Stage 3 or Stage 4 restriction is it possible to stay with a close relative's house?

Yes BM na po. I'll be flying by december pa naman. So I'm hoping that the situation will be better by then. Mauna po si husband ng october, baka may risk pa rin ng flight cancellation

Hi @zirko , thanks for sharing, and congrats!
Pareho pala tayong situation originally MNL - HKG - MEL kami, but we had to rebook to MNL - HKG -SYD for our upcoming flight on September 3.
Kumusta pala layover niyo sa HKG? Halos 12 hours din kasi. May open ba na food stalls / restaurants? Lounges?
How did you apply to waive quarantine fees btw?
Stay safe!

Good day!
Kamusta po?
Mag ask lang po sana ako if meron po ba dito nag try na imsg ung DHA para ma lift temporarily ung need for biometrics para makapag proceed ung pag pprocess ng visa?.
Under po kasi kami ng 491 visa application ng wife ko, however, d po kami makapag proceed due to need for biometrics. Sarado pa din po kasi ung VFS.
We are both nurses.
Salamat po.

@crankygrinch We will fly to Melbourne after our quarantine. Last time I checked - There are no restrictions to enter Victoria and all just need to observe the lockdown rules on their movement. No double quarantine. There are also relaxed rules for those moving homes. So far, there are SYD-MEL flights.
I always treat the Victoria lockdown separately from interstate restriction of movements. As worst hit, Victoria does not restrict entry and exit to other states. It is the other way around.
@Miki @draper 10 hours layover sa HongKong. Those hours went fast Some food stalls are open good enough for the few travellers there. Starbucks is open.
Send your request for waiver fee through [email protected]. Attach evidences of cancellations and rebooking. They may ask again for those docs, as with our experience. No final disposition yet for our request as of writing.
Regards and safe journeys!

We haven't booked our MEL flight. NSW offers two-night free accommodation (food and other costs not included) after quarantine - if you book your onward flight exclusively through a designated travel agency. It will be in a separate hotel.

Hi @wintergreen . We're in a two-bedroom suite with balcony in Meriton Suites, Suzzex St., Sydney. It appears for families lang dito. Families lang din kasabay namin sa bus from airport. The other bus/es went to other directions.
The suite is like a typical apartment unit. All amenities meron - kitchen with oven, dishwasher, coffemaker (capsules), washer and dryer,two T&B, TV in the living room and bedrooms. From what I read, NSW offers the best accommodations for families in quarantine. I can now attest to that
Possibly, apartment-type if family of four. There were mother-child and a family of three with us in the bus - but I don't know their type of accommodation.
So far, no update yet on quarantine fee waiver

@zirko hi!! Jan din kami galing sa Meriton Sussex!! Ang ganda jan! Super staycation talaga! Ambilis din ng guest desk nila sa mga kailangan. Pwde kayo padeliver sa Woolies pag may need kyo esp sa mga kids at mga personal needs din.
May mga single din na nadala jan kasi madami kami nakasabay na tag iisang tao lang. Depende siguro sa kung saang bus kyo pinasakay.
Nagemail na kyo sa NsW revenue? Medyo matagal sya mag reply, 10 days bagi nag reply sa email ko. Nakalabas na kmi last week, kahapon lang na waive ang aming hotel payment.
Enjoy muna kayo jan! Pag may need kyo, pm lang! God bless...

@zirko Ayos pala family of 4 din kami. Dami pa naman naming dalang baggages. Allowed naman mag dala ng balikbayan box?
@lecia Noong natapos quarantine ninyo and checkout na, hindi muna kayo pinabayad dahil waiting pa ma-waive yung fee?
Joined: Nov 06, 2016
Oo walang bayad, icheck lang ang passport then go na..Kung meron man babayaran isend ang bill sa address at pag di kaya barayan in one month, pwde staggered payment, may terms naman sila.
Naku wag po masyado madami luggage lalo pag may kids. Kami hirap kahit tag isang luggage lang. Ang mga defense personnel lang pwde magbuhat, mga staff sa hotel at mga uber rides, di ata sila pwde mag touch ng luggage, alam mo na dahil sa situation ngyon.

Hi All,
Ask ko lng po kng sino po ang mag big move sa Melbourne from Pinas nxt month? I understand until Oct 24 pa mgbubukas ang intl flights sa Melb airport. What can you advise regarding our current situation? We've been trying to pursue our big move since March 2020 and due to lockdown in the Phils and now in Melb we rebooked our flights from one airline to another and still with no luck. We're looking for other options but Cathay Pacific, where we booked our flight from Manila to Melb told us that they don't have available flights anymore even from Mnl to Sydney not until Oct 25 because we were thinking of rerouting our flight to Sydney since Melb is closed.
