With the gradual restart of international services, travel might look a little different. Learn about the latest airline and government travel requirements, and what you need to do before you get to the airport.

If you're booked to travel on a Qantas aircraft and travelling on an international flight, you'll need to be fully vaccinated at the time of travel. Some exceptions apply, including:

• Children under 12 years of age. You don’t need to complete the Qantas COVID-19 vaccination exemption form.
• Children aged 12 to 17 years travelling with a fully vaccinated parent or guardian. If travelling to Australia, travel must be to an Australian state or territory in which that child will not be required to undertake mandatory supervised quarantine. Be sure to check state or territory informationOpens external site in a new window for eligibility and requirements. You don’t need to complete the Qantas COVID-19 vaccination exemption form. See below for more information.
• If you have a valid medical exemption.
• If you're travelling on a ticket sold by Qantas for a flight operated by another airline, unless vaccination is a requirement of the operating airline or destination country.

However you should always check the requirements of the country you're travelling to, from and transiting through, as you'll need to comply with the most stringent requirements that may apply to your entire trip.

You’ll need to be fully vaccinated with a TGA-approved or recognised vaccineOpens external site in a new window and be provided a vaccination certificate issued by a verified source. In accordance with Australian Government guidelines, a traveller is not fully vaccinated unless at least seven full calendar days have elapsed since the last dose of vaccine in a course of immunisation. The required timeframe may be greater, depending on the country you are travelling to.

In some circumstances, you may be asked to present proof of vaccination (or exemption).

This requirement relates to flights operated by Qantas on a Qantas aircraft, including those booked via another airline or third-party travel arranger. If you're travelling on a Qantas codeshare flight which is operated by another airline on their aircraft, you'll need to contact them directly to understand and meet their requirements if applicable.
