#strongertogether

No doubt that this has been a tough time for all of us, on personal and business levels. We have all had to make sacrifices. When it came to cancelled holidays...it was unfair for customers to lose out, as it was for airlines and travel suppliers, as well as travel agents. There were no winners in this.
Whereas other travel agents (within their rights) charged cancellation and amendment fees on top of airline and supplier fees, at Travel Time we made the decision that would not benefit us, but would benefit our customers.
We refunded IN FULL all the money that we received from airlines and suppliers straight to our customer, even though this meant that we lost almost a years worth of work. Where refunds were not offered by airlines and suppliers, credits and travel vouchers were offered and these were successfully passed on. We charged NO Amendment Fees when we had to rebook (and rebook and rebook!) holidays that kept cancelling due to border closures.
In the end of the day, we decided that it was only fair that our customers would have the most favourable outcome, as we have always valued this above all. And moving forward, we will continue to practise the highest work ethic, because they deserve no less.

Travel for vaccinated Australians

Fully vaccinated Australians will soon be eligible for international travel without first seeking an exemption.
​The government has announced that Australian citizens or permanent residents aged 12 and over who have received two doses of a recognised vaccine will be able to travel without needing an exemption. It will also mean that quarantine requirements will be shorter and home-based.
This could start sometime in November but there will be more information provided soon.
Children under 12 and those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons will also be able to travel overseas without an exemption.
Australian citizens and permanent residents who do not meet the eligibility requirements must continue to follow the current border processes when leaving Australia or coming to Australia (refer to current travel restrictions)
There are many scheduled flights available for sale from mid December to many parts of the world. It is a bit like panic buying, so it may be difficult to secure availability for incoming flights into Australia (particularly for longhaul destinations like UK, Europe and USA).
But this may change rapidly as the government allows more flights (refer to new bookings)
