Bringing you#BAckTogether

WITH THOSE YOU LOVE

Back Together

For more than a year, many of us have been separated from family and friends overseas. They'll be the first people you'll want to visit as international travel is safely reopened.

As we prepare to welcome you back onboard, your safety remains at the heart of everything we do. Find out about changes we've made at each step of the journey, including new protective measures on the ground and in the air.

If you have been separated from a close friend or family member overseas but plan to be reunited as soon as it’s safe to travel; we would like to hear your story.

Travel can be special and over the years we’ve witnessed some incredible moments in airports and met some truly inspiring people – heroes, medics, firefighters, police, mums, children, neighbours and friends who have faced adversity and done amazing things. As the skies reopen, we’ll continue to share stories of ordinary folk doing extraordinary things.
