Female Teacher Raising $15,000 for Flight to Australia After Losing Job and Getting Sick from Vaccine

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Indeed, they urged Aussies to return home and if not, outlined the possibility of being locked out and the resultant risks of living abroad during a pandemic.

when the pandemic struck we were told by the Australian government to shelter in place if we had stable employment, housing and community which I did, I chose to stay
So this is a false assertion right from the get go.

"From Singapore Airlines Chat (29Sep21):
Earliest seats available for Phnom Penh-Brisbane will be on 08 February 2021 in Business Flexi fare at USD2873.40 per passenger as of now.

Total for two passengers will be USD5746.80 as of now."
Why are they offering a flight in February if this conversation took place 3 weeks ago?
How much does Singapore Airlines charge to travel 8 months back in time?
You must have missed this bit, "Earliest seats available for Phnom Penh-Brisbane"

Keep in mind that this conversation took place 2 days before Morrison announced an opening of the borders.
Also, at the time, there was no hurry for flights to travel to Australia because there were very few passengers able to make the airlines return out of Oz financially worthwhile.

I think @ali baba was pointing out the date. The flight left 10 months ago. I assume SIA meant 08 February 2022?
