There have been a number of conflicting and incorrect headlines circulating in the media about cancelling travel to Europe. As always, we’re here to provide accurate, factual and official advice to help travellers make informed decisions.

The current official advice is not to cancel your Europe travel plans without getting advice from your accredited travel advisor.

Here is the latest practical advice from ATIA for travellers right now:

✈️ Download your airline’s app and check the “Manage My Booking” section before heading to the airport to confirm your flight is operating.
🌏 Register with Smartraveller: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au
🏠 If you are currently in the Middle East and wish to return home, register with DFAT — Middle Eastern carriers are repatriating Australians with no additional charges.
📅 Travelling in the next few weeks? Don’t panic cancel. Speak to your travel advisor first.
🔁 Travelling in the coming months? Your accredited travel advisor can help explore alternative routes and options.

We are here to help you navigate the latest updates and make the best decisions for your trip with confidence. Your safety always comes first.
