Frustrated with the lack of response from STA Travel, the 21-year-old phoned all of her hotels herself.
STA Travel has come under fire with many Australians coming forward saying they have not received refunds. STA Travel issued a statement saying: "STA has not changed its terms and conditions retrospectively. However, it is continuing to update its refund policy – which sets out the basis of how and when refunds will be made available and/or credit notes offered, which are in turn, dependent on each supplier."
In a statement sent to customers on Facebook, STA Travel said credits post pandemic are valid for two years from the date of issue.

What would a trans-Tasman ‘travel bubble’ look like?Australia and New Zealand have kicked off “unprecedented” discussions at a National Cabinet meeting with the aim of creating a “bubble” that would allow international travel across the ditch. Do not forget it was a cruise ship travelling between Australia and Kiwiland that was the single largest source of COVID-19 in Australia. Bubbles burst. It works as before... jacindaardern sends her criminals and welfare bludgers to Australia

Trans-Tasman travel bubble 'has an enormous amount going for it' | Sky News AustraliaTourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond says the idea of a trans-Tasman travel bubble “has an enormous amount going for it”. \n\nA trans-Tasman bubble allowing Australians and Kiwis to travel between countries will be on the agenda when New Zealand's Prime Minister joins today's national cabinet teleconference.\n\nThe Tourism and Transport Forum CEO told Sky News there was an enormous amount of work being done to facilitate the plan. \n\n“I think it’s important to understand that New Zealand is still our second biggest market, in fact it’s only in the last 12 to 18 months that China beat New Zealand as being our biggest group of inbound,” Ms Osmond said. \n\nMs Osmond said it was especially important following a horror year for the industry which was already devastated by the bushfires. \n\n“Essentially from the tourism industry’s perspective, we’ve had the ultimate perfect storm, the double whammy to end them all,” she said. No. Its opening up the back door round Australia's borders. NZ is already hiding illegal immigrants. E.g Behrouz Boochani.

Trans-Tasman travel opens a window of opportunity for a 'Trans-Tasman aviation market' | Sky News AustraliaIn light of the national cabinet meeting which included New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, economist Tim Harcourt says “it makes a lot of sense” for Australia to remain economically close yet politically independent from New Zealand. \n\nHistory was made today when New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern joined the national cabinet to discuss the possibility of a Trans-Tasman travel bubble.\n\nMr Harcourt suggested if Virgin Australia were to completely collapse, opening a Trans-Tasman aviation market could provide a creditable rival for Qantas. \n\n“If the worst came to the worst you could see Air New Zealand and Quantas going head-to-head both in New Zealand and in Australia,” he told Sky News host Peter Gleeson. \n\n“Economically we’re probably the two most integrated economies in the world,” he said. \n\nMr Harcourt said “close economic ties” were a good thing for both nations, but should not be prioritised at the expense of national sovereignty which was equally important.\n\nAustralia and New Zealand should continue to maintain distinct “constitutions, foreign policies and rugby teams,' he said. \n\n jacindaardern I think the former PM of NZ, Richard Seddon, had a good idea a while back on the relationship between Australia and NZ. He excluded New Zealand from participating in the establishment of Australia in 1901. jacindaardern In other words is mind your own business jacindaardern

Ardern insists Aus and NZ 'both stand to benefit' from trans-Tasman travel bubble | Sky News AustraliaAustralia and New Zealand have “a lot of work” to do before a proposal for a trans-Tasman travel bubble becomes a reality, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says. \n\nPrime Minister Ardern on Tuesday joined the national cabinet meeting to discuss the prospect of opening up travel across the Tasman. \n\n'Australians and New Zealanders travel across the ditch more than anywhere else,” she said. \n\n“We both stand to benefit from getting travel up and running again.”\n\nHowever, she said a great deal of progress was required to ensure coronavirus cases were not exported 'across the ditch'.\n\n'I think simply the position that I would take on behalf of New Zealand is that when we feel comfortable and confident that we both won't receive cases from Australia, but equally we won't export them then that will be the time to move,” she said. jacindaardern This helps no-one but NZ. They shouldn't have locked down so hard. jacindaardern No. She has a lot to do. Right now, we need to concentrate on us. We need to holiday here & spend here. We need to keep visitor & immigration numbers way down. And we need to hold Jacinda accountable for her comments & actions towards Australia. We don't owe her anything. jacindaardern Ardern, we love your tough stance to save the land of the Lord of the Rings.
