Frustrated travel industry representatives have warned there are no more commercial plane seats home for Australians abroad before Christmas, declaring the crisis caused by locking Australians out of the country as the worst it’s ever been.
“They have no agency or control of their situation – how is it that an Australian citizen’s worth is reduced to the luck of what flight you book?” While online searches show some tickets available, they are what the industry calls “ghost flights” where airlines accept bookings despite there not being scheduled flights, leading to more last-minute bumpings.
“If your mum’s dying, your dad’s dying in Australia, your sister’s got cancer, if you’ve done the right thing and stayed because the government said ‘don’t come back’ – some of these people being bumped now [had] booked flights for October in January,” she said.
