Is Overseas Travel Really That Scary in 2022?
Listen now
Description
  Although many Australians would like to travel overseas over the coming year, many are holding off for now. That's totally understandable - there are still so many unknowns and risks involved with overseas travel in 2022. But is it really that scary out there? For those who've been stuck inside Australia for the past two years, it can be difficult to imagine what life is actually like outside the country at the moment. So over the coming months, Matt will be chatting on the podcast to Australians who've recently returned from different parts of the world about their travel experiences. In this episode, Matt speaks to Daniel Kavan who recently returned from Canada. Daniel and his family had a bit of a disastrous trip home, although thankfully, that wasn't directly due to COVID!   Episode contents: 1:49 - Fortnightly news round-up 12:23 - Interview with Daniel Kavan 38:27 - Round-the-world award tickets   Links: AFF on Air Discussion thread - a dedicated AFF thread to discuss the podcast and ask questions Upcoming Frequent Flyer Solutions webinar - "Fly Around the World using Points" (25 January 2022)   Frequent Flyer Gazette articles referenced in the fortnightly news round-up: Qantas to Drop Medical Clearance Form for Past COVID Cases Qantas A380 Returns to Service Stuck in Fiji: The Big Risk of Omicron Travel United’s 2022 MileagePlus Status Match Challenge IHG Rewards Platinum Elite Status Fast Track Singapore Airlines Pauses Expiration of KrisFlyer Miles Until 2023 Velocity Extends Platinum Upgrades on Choice Fares Free Qantas Seat Selection (With a Catch)
