To say Australia has had trouble opening its interstate borders would be like saying Wim Hoff’s ice baths are mildly uncomfortable.
As confirmed cases of the virus have become more controlled, however, and political negotiations have finally got somewhere, Qantas has thrown a bunch more flights back onto one of the routes Australians have been waiting for much of the year to return: flights from the east coast to Western Australia.
“Qantas and Jetstar will operate more than 65 additional return flights from Perth to Melbourne and Sydney each week following the Western Australian Government’s decision to ease border restrictions,” Australia’s national carrier announced yesterday.
