So I have been thinking of making the trip to SYD. Fares are lowish and I was hoping the Australian government would get rid of the mandated hotel for quarantine requirement (with the hefty price tag atrached). Huge debacle with non enforcement of the quarantine in MEL and the rich and connected able to bypass the mandatory hotel stay.

No confirmed today. Only 350 international arrivals into SYD each day for the mandatory 14 day quarantine

The increased flights United has scheduled to SYD must be cargo.
