We have booked Greece and Italy for June/July. Haven't event looking into the Covid-logistics of it all yet, just doesn't seem to be any point yet when it will all change 7 million times before my flights get cancelled and I earn yet another credit that I will probably never get to use.

yeah, it's nuts. We even have Jetstar Japan ones, those look easy to use

@nepia Yes I think it is. they call it "Sandbox" and it didn't really get disrupted on Dec 22 changes. I didn't look into it but it always popped up on my enquiries.
They've been doing it for a long time, over a year, so I'm sure they've ironed out the kinks. They also offer it for a couple of other island destinations in the Kingdom
Well worth looking in to. They've made it doable.I guess the purpose of my ramble was to explain that there are are other options to MIQ out there and the biggest difference being the 7 days vs 14 day ultimatum

Jetstar have been good with their vouchers in my experience. Yesterday they even gave me a $10 one for my missed meal. Probably take me longer to type in the voucher number!

@siam Your experience in MIQ sounds very much like what my brother experienced here in NZ 12 months ago. They even gave him free beer with dinner. Was nothing like what your wife was subjected to in Melbourne. From memory didn't she then have to do it all again in SA?
NZ's MIQ stays haven't been about the conditions but the availability.

Same in Oz - my 14 days was bloody fun - 2 bedroom apartment, balcony, full kitchen, able to order food and booze delivery, NBA Finals on TV. I decided to go dry for the first 3 days before realising what an awesome time I could have in there and gave up!!!
-
@dogmeat excellent that's great to hear. Makes sense too. Was 2 weeks home isolation in SA immediately after MIQ. Overkill but that was may 2020
Does make me confused about the u19 cricket withdrawal reasons then. But I can guess the mechanisms at play there

I've booked for Aussie (from NZ) in September. In the unlikely event self iso is still in place when I return, that's all good as I live alone...
I'm off to Cairns and then visiting friends on the Gold Coast. Would welcome tips for Cairns - I know a guy there but he's quite busy making wardrobe space for his wife's shopping addiction so I don't want to bother him too much.

And I'll probably enjoy that.
