On the question of flying J, I usually do that ex-EU. I had thought this time though that it was one more complication that I didn't want to add into the mix, getting to/from ARN or OSL from LON. And from LON, well.... we all know the price difference. Perhaps though, ex-EU that may be a better option after all.
Eager to hear any more thoughts - thanks for all the well-reasoned info so far.
Entering AU on an AU passport will be no issue, if you get a seat.
Leaving AU may be more problematic as most AU citizens/permanent residents need AU government authority to leave.
The AU government is trying to discourage people on short trips coming from Covid-19 risk places
