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.
A relative was denied boarding NZ->Australia a week ago. According to her, they are limiting the passengers to 30-per-plane, and those 30 are exclusively in business class.
Not sure if this is an Australian-wide rule, but could it potentially mean United is flying to SYD solely with cargo and possibly 30 J pax?
