HOME OR AWAY
EDITOR S NOTE Regular readers may recall that we issued an invitation, following a letter from Jo Webster of Gowrie, ACT, to state your preference for either international or domestic themed articles in
Traveller as we negotiate the border bans brought on by the pandemic. Here s an initial selection of the so far fairly evenly split correspondence we ve received:
I m also pretty much over domestic travel stories. After arriving back from Norway in February 2020, I immediately booked another Viking cruise from Bergen to Montreal in anticipation of borders reopening by 2022. Hopefully by August 2022 international travel will again be possible. Having already been vaccinated, the only impediment to my planned journey will be unaffordable international airfares. I remain positive.
Unlike Rod McCallum (
Traveller Letters, March 20) I don t think it would worry me if I lost my Qantas frequent flyer membership card. These days I earn FF points in many ways and places such as credit card purchases, transactions at service stations, pharmacies, non-card financial services and even a health app just for walking day in, day out.
I know where my card is, however, I can t recall when I last had to produce it. There s an image of it on my phone if really needed. The days of having to produce a plastic card are fading fast.
