As the country races to reach its 70 per cent fully vaccination target, Australians are rushing to buy tickets for their interstate and overseas travel plans.

Virgin Australia and Qantas have both reported surges in flight bookings on Monday after Victoria and Queensland announced the upcoming re-opening of their borders.

Late on Tuesday afternoon, Victoria confirmed it would ease border rules with NSW. From midnight, there will be no declared “red zones” in NSW, with all of greater Sydney moving to orange and many other areas easing to green.
