26 Apr 2022 • 34m10sOptimism is returning. South East Asia’s incremental, and dramatically drawn out, travel reopenings are finally nearing ‘all systems go’ status.
This week, Gary and Hannah review the latest travel developments from across the region. In particular, there is great news for travellers to (and from) Thailand and Singapore.
Plus, some impressive regional aviation statistics, and strong domestic travel outlooks in Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia and Malaysia.
Gary also reports on his first international flight for two years, from KLIA to London Heathrow - and the differences he encountered in the two airports.
