But getting a flight out of Au will be hard for others.
QF & EK are stopping flying scheduled services soon.
BA16 SYD-SIN-LHR was not allowed to take through passengers yesterday (24 March). Only those with SIN as destination. NZ is very popular with UK backpacker/working holiday visa so may have caught some.
