Tasmanian travel restrictions will ease on December 15. This is what the modelling shows will happen

Tasmania was quick to pull up the drawbridge when coronavirus started to spread throughout Australia but it now faces the prospect of hundreds of COVID-19 cases a day.

Premier Peter Gutwein has revealed his government's plan to open up to the world just in time for Christmas, and all the modelling shows coronavirus will spread to the state.

Here's what we know.

When can I visit Tasmania?

The government expects 80 per cent of Tasmanians aged 16 and older to be fully vaccinated by early November .

When the state hits that target, people in Australian jurisdictions declared high risk will be able to enter the state as long as they complete 14 days of home or hotel quarantine.

It is expected most Tasmanians and returning travellers will be able to quarantine at home, depending on where they have travelled from and as long as they are fully vaccinated and have returned a negative test 72 hours before their entry to the state.

Returning travellers from overseas will be required to undertake 14 days of hotel quarantine, with home quarantine to be trialled based on risk.

It is expected 90 per cent of Tasmanians 12 and older will be fully vaccinated by December 15 .

From that date, anyone who is fully vaccinated and has returned a negative test within 72 hours of travel will be allowed to enter the state.

The mandatory testing requirement will be reviewed after four weeks, and the vaccination rule does not apply to people with an exemption.

"We are opening," Mr Gutwein said. 

"Get vaccinated. We are prepared for this."

Fully vaccinated Tasmanians who have left the state for less than a week will not be required to return a negative test.

"If you want to go shopping in Melbourne, if you want to go and watch a horse race in Sydney and you're away for a couple of days, you will be able to return as long as you're fully vaccinated without meeting the 72-hour test rule," Mr Gutwein said.

People who do not meet those criteria will be subject to additional quarantine and testing requirements.

Will any restrictions remain in place?

Health authorities are keen to ensure the vaccination program stays on track — including boosters.

People will still be required to use the Check in Tas app , business will still need COVID-19 safety plans and masks will be required in high-risk indoor settings .

Gathering restrictions , including density limits, will continue to apply .

How many COVID cases are we expecting?

The state government commissioned Raina MacIntyre from UNSW's Kirby Institute to figure out how many cases the state could expect under a range of different scenarios.

Public Health deputy director Scott McKeown stressed that modelling was not forecasting, but a useful way to get prepared.

"It does tell us that COVID transmission will be coming in Tasmania," Dr McKeown said.

"It does tell us that the best thing you can do to protect yourself, your family and the wider community is get vaccinated."

In the worst-case scenario — the so-called "let it rip" approach, without any restrictions in place, and not what Tasmania will pursue — the state would see an average of 387 cases per day and about 77,500 within 200 days.

At the peak of that model, more than 630 people would be in hospital, almost 170 people in the ICU and there would be more than 200 deaths.

"We are not going down that pathway," Mr Gutwein said.

Tasmania will instead maintain existing public health measures and a high level of contact tracing. One version of this would lead to a projected average of 258 daily cases with the peak expected on April 10 next year.

"[Under this scenario], case numbers could reduce by 25,000 cases, with hospitalisations to be substantially less at the peak, looking at a possible daily peak of 242 cases in hospital and less than 70 cases in the ICU ," Mr Gutwein said.

"And whilst still high, significantly reduced deaths at 87 , compared to the model without the public health measures in place."

Mr Gutwein said it was unlikely the impacts would be as severe as predicted, because Tasmania was on track to get vaccinated earlier than expected, and 5 to 11-year-olds would likely have access to a vaccination soon too.

Mr Gutwein also said further modelling had been commissioned to take into account Tasmania's circumstances.

Dr McKeown said other states' modelling had not borne out and he encouraged Tasmanians to continue following public health measures such as social distancing and wearing masks as required.

"My challenge to Tasmanians is to prove this modelling wrong," he said.

Are our hospitals ready?

Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff said he was confident the state's health system would adapt to the state's reopening plan.

"We are prepared as we possibly can be for what the Premier has announced today," Mr Rockliff said.

"While every state and territory has prepared for COVID cases in our hospitals, no-one sits with hundreds of empty beds waiting for COVID-19 cases.

"When there are peaks in the hospitalisation of COVID cases, that has an impact. It is not business as usual.

"Health systems change and flex in pandemics, and our health system is prepared to do the same."

A fact sheet on hospital preparedness released by the state government showed there were 367 ventilators throughout the state, a possible 211 dedicated COVID-19 beds and capacity for an extra 80 ICU beds as needed , in addition to the existing 34.

There will also be a "COVID at home" model of care for some patients, with the government providing home pulse and blood oxygen monitors.

As far as staffing is concerned, Mr Gutwein said there were an extra 800-900 people working in the health system today than a year ago, equating to about 655 full-time equivalent positions .

About 500 staff are involved in the vaccination program.

Frequently asked questions

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There’s a chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.

See what people are saying about tasmanian vacations....

The holiday to Tasmania has been and gone, and my wife and I just want you to know that we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The package that you put together worked a treat and everything worked like clockwork. Thank you for your meticulous work in booking everything for us.

Hi Ben, Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that our trip was absolutely fantastic! We got back to Brisbane late Friday and can’t stop talking about it and looking at the over 1,200 photos I took! Thanks again for organising everything. It was wonderful!

Hi Zuleika, we just wanted to send our thanks to you now that we have returned from our trip to Tasmania. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of weeks. The scenery was fantastic, the experiences you booked for us were really enjoyable and we didn’t experience any problems. Again, thank you so much for organising our trip.

Hi Talise, I just want to thank-you and the Tasmanian Vacations team for organising our Tassie holiday earlier this month. It went off without a hitch. The hotels and B&B were great. So was the cruise and railway journey. And the rental car. At every place, the staff were thoroughly professional and friendly, like nearly every local we met. We'll be back.

Hi Talise, We just wanted to thank you for organising the accommodation and dinners for our trip last weekend. It was a fantastic 5 days and everything went smoothly!

Hi Caitlyn, Just a note to say how happy we were on our all too brief visit. The heritage accomodation was lovely, the staff were helpful and answered our every need. Congratulations on a great job, two octogenarians who thought they had seen all, greatly impressed.

A big thank you for arranging our Tasmanian holiday. Everything went very smoothly so we had a very relaxing, enjoyable holiday. The accommodations were superb and we did so enjoy the local food and wines. Each region had highlights of their own but have to say our last two nights in Hobart at the Henry Jones were the icing on the cake for the whole trip. Thanks again for your organisation, we would recommend Tasmania as a destination and definitely recommend you to do the organising.

Talise, just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time in Tasmania. It was a truly brilliant holiday for us both. Everything you arranged went smoothly and we were happy with all the locations and accommodation you selected and recommended. We particularly loved the day trip to Josef Chromy in Launceston and the day cruise on the Gordon River. Our accommodation in Hobart was perfect as it was so close to the markets and Mona ferry. We will be sure to recommend your services to friends and family. Thank you so much for everything.

Dear Talise, thank you very much for helping us organise our Tasmanian vacation. We had an amazing time. Our highlights would have to include the national parks Apsley Gorge, Wineglass Bay, Montezuma Falls and the Wombats at Cradle Mountain. Attractions wise we loved the Bicheno Penguin Tour, Seahorse World, Platypus House (the echidna experience was brilliant), Cataract Gorge Chairlift, and Devils@Cradle (we viewed a night time feeding). We had a fabulous holiday and appreciate your help with organising our itinerary.

Thank you very much for your time for putting together our trip to Tasmania. You have done a marvellous job and we enjoyed our accommodation that you organised for us. We had a great time in Tasmania, with great weather. Once again THANK YOU.

Brenda and myself would like to thank Tasmanian Vacations for the great way the organised our recent trip to Tasmania. Every aspect went extremely well making our holiday not good but GREAT.

Caitlyn, we are now back home again following a wonderful trip to Flinders Island. We were more than impressed with Island Quarters and the way that Roweena looked after us. The unit itself is really nice and the location of course was perfect, being only a few metres away from everything in Whitemark and being so close to the beach. We look forward to using Tas Vacations again.

Talise, thank you for organising a wonderful trip (only one day of rain!). The accommodation was great - our favourite being Gardenia House. Our favourite place was Stanley and the Bruny Island trip was a treat. We will be back to do more on the East Coast.

Kim, we really wanted to let you know how impressed we were with all of the accommodation and tours that you booked for us. The standard was great – stand outs for us were the Corinna Wilderness Experience and the Oyster Catcher Villa at Bruny Island. There were no problems anywhere with our bookings and we were very impressed with the friendliness of staff. We wanted to thank you for organising the trip for us.

Caitlyn, I write to express our appreciation for your arranging the 'ground' bookings for our tour of the State. Your expertise in interpreting our needs led to a great experience for us. We enjoyed all the accommodation and tours on the itinerary. Everything worked well in terms of location, time and distance.

Caitlyn was fantastic in arranging our Tasmanian holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for her to arrange and even the changes we asked her to make. We had no issues on our Tasmanian holiday. A beautiful and friendly place to visit and I certainly hope to go back one day to see what I couldn't fit in this time.

I was impressed with how Talise had looked after my alterations to original plans and the speed that she was able to resolve the alterations. Thank you Talise. My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

I just wanted to reach out and thank Zuleika very much for the most wonderful holiday. We had such a great time travelling around Tassie and we are in awe of how beautiful the scenery is as well as the food and people. We will certainly be back as 10 days was not even close enough to feeling satisfied. I will be in touch later this year for stage 2 adventures. Thanks again for everything.

It was absolutely fantastic!!. Everything from the car pickup and drop off, to all the different accommodations. It went seamlessly and we both had the best time. The choices you made for us were amazing and we loved every minute of our time in Tasmania thanks to your work and expertise.

Karen and her team were excellent. They know Tasmania and were quick to make helpful suggestions. We would have no hesitation using Tasmanian Vacations again or recommending them to friends.

Jess our consultant was amazing pulling our holiday together so quickly. It was a fabulous trip!

Booking through Tasmanian Vacations helped make our trip to Tasmania a very special one - from the ease of car hire, national park pass & brilliant accommodation - everything was terrific. This allowed us to have a very enjoyable holiday that, had we tried to book this ourselves, may not have been possible. Thank you, Tasmanian Vacations for your efforts!

The accommodation provided was wonderful, and we enjoyed the whole experience. Have recommended your company to family and friends.

Zuleika was fantastic and helped me through the planning process. So simple and easy.

Hi Sophie, we wanted to thank you for organising our wonderful Tasmanian holiday! We just got back last week and are still buzzing from how fantastic it was. All the places you chose for us were varied and interesting with superb accommodation. We wanted to let you know what a great job you did. We will recommend you to all our friends.

It was absolutely fantastic!

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, experiencing so much beauty in this part of Australia.

From our initial enquiry we were blown away by the help provided by Ben and Jess. They certainly made our trip run smoothly and did all the thinking for us. We had a fabulous 9 days and are recommending Tasmanian Vacations to all our friends. You could not do it better yourself.

Just wanted to say we have returned from our stay down at Tassie and it was amazing. Thank you for putting all that together. It was so easy and stress free.

Had a fantastic holiday in Tasmania. Everything went smoothly starting from booking, then car hire and accomodation. The Coal River Farm voucher set us up with delicious treats and a wonderful lunch to begin our Tassie adventure

Many thanks to Ben for his help. It was a last-minute trip and Ben was very patient and helpful.

Top 5 airlines serving from Adelaide to Tasmania

Good flight. The food was served a bit late, hence a hurry to finish before landing. Excellent crew and service

All in all the flight was good. Love the fact that for airline food it was piping hot

In general good, but the machine seems to be long in operation and some functions were restricted as e. g. Adjusting of seats.

Seating cramped; close to toilet, foul smelling and noisy, very unhygienic and disease risk Free and paid Wi-Fi NOT accessible at all - misleading advertising Very expensive sunglasses disappeared from back seat pouch. Coffee disgusting and cold

Wonderful service, planes and interior in great condition, very pleasant experience

People were so nice! Economy seats were small and cramped feeling for me. I’m slender and 6 feet tall

A pc of cake or biscuit at least. The airport was like a maze need to take another bus to the main terminal to immigration.

Flying with Singapore airlines is always excelllent - the crew are lovely and the food too is great. It’s my number 1 airline

They were able to assist my elderly father and myself after not being able to check in to scoot. The counter service was phenomenal. They did what they could to get us on the next plane so we could catch our Connecting flight. Scoot closed early on us so we ended up missing our flight.

Transfer within the same terminal and lots of facilities at the airport.

This time is good . Don’t cancel flight with out early notice .

Very good experience, considering the short flight the meals were served promptly after takeoff.

X class seats in row 3 with the new configuration are very poor in fact I feel 3B and 3E should no longer be considered as X class seat as there is no forward seat pocket available to these seats and greatly reduced leg room due the intrusion of the business class armrests/table module

It was pretty good. Everyone friendly. Like all airlines, the draconian limitations on baggage and weight and not giving even a free soda kind of drags down the experience a bit.

Last 10 minutes boarding they canceled the flight and didn’t organise anything

Estheticly the plane looks great, although the seats are way too upright. If the seats were just slightly more reclined then the comfort level would increase tenfold. I had the stiffest neck after just a short flight due to this. A nap was almost out of the question.

Cabin crew were very professional and welcoming. They certainly appeared to have lifted their game. Congratulations

I know not directly a Virgin "thing" but I hold Virgin responsible for their subcontractors. Had to wait 45 minutes waiting for baggage at PER before the belt conveyor even started. This is unacceptable and hopefully Virgin engages with whoever to pull their fingers out. I realise PER staff are generally slow at the best of times but this was ridiculous. Maybe more seating for those waiting, a cafe in the baggage area for a light meal while we wait or at the very least a troop of dancing girls to entertain the punters while they stare at the conveyor belt start light almost willing it to fire up.

Very poor. Flight was cancelled due to captain exceeding hours. Told to fend for ourselves for 12 hours until a new flight could be done. This meant overnight accommodation in Hobart. Next plane was delayed and no food onboard. No apologies from Virgin. Extremely disappointing.

Flight was cancelled due to a mechanical fault - Virgin rebooked me on a flight 6 hours later so I cancelled and flew with another carrier

Following a marathon flight riddled by delays and changes from Santiago, Chile, my flight to Melbourne from Sydney was on schedule but I was transferred to the next flight. The reason by ticketing and the floor manager was I missed the entry to flight by one minute! That's right, the emphasised that if I was 1 minute earlier I would be on the flight. I asked what was the point them emphasising 1minute overdue and how that helped me or the situation. They didn't care at all. Replying that if it was one minute earlier they would've done something and smirking delivering the information. Australian's do call Australia home, Qantas calls Australian's suckers.

The staff we fantastic and seemed to work very well with each other

Business lounge in Melbourne mediocre. Look at Emirates or Qatar, Qantas! Great friendly crew. Food was good but Emirates is a level above. Business seat good. But can’t compare to Qatar. Main reason for booking Qantas is loyalty and terrific connection via Perth to LHR.

It's only a short trip from Sydney to Melbourne, which i have done many times. The trip met my expectations

I really appreciated the fact that when I checked my bags at the Quantas counter after arriving from an international flight an hour early, the agent noticed I had a very long layover. He then found an earlier flight that allowed me to get to Cairns several hours earlier than I planned. That was amazing because I had already traveled over 20 hours and wasn’t looking forward to such a long layover. It allowed me to see my daughter and grandchildren much earlier (it had been two years since I visited last).

Qantas cancelled my flight for no good reason and rebooked me into a middle seat.

The flight met my expectations. It left and landed on time

Flights delayed multiple times, travellers requests for updates ignored. Qantas continues to desatisfy travelling basics.

Better food, hotter coffee, otherwise it was a very smooth and reasonably comfortable flight.

Packed flight. Urged to check carry-on before boarding only to discover numerous empty overhead bins after boarding. Challenging entertainment screen. After almost 20 minutes to arrive at baggage claim, waited over 30 mins before luggage was loaded on baggage claim carousel.

chaos boarding. Crew in business class seemed short staffed and lacking in attention to details initially, but did improve during flight.

The cabin was quite noisy as there were lots of children travelling for the school holidays. Found the selection of movies limited.

Delayed, not enough information. Had to ask for refreshments, crew could have been more proactive

The best so far coz this time it was all male steward on the economy cluster. They were polite, efficient & genuinely courteous. They do not judge you when you ask for more food & peanuts.

Delayed for 45 minutes. Don't know what's the issue. Other than that, food was not to my satisfaction. However it's okay.

My first course flight (Aor-Kul) was cancelled in the morning, and they asked me to board the night flight hence I need to transit overnight for the 2nd flight (Kul-Myy) that supposed to be on the same day. The overnight stay was not provided, (I'm traveling with my spouse, a daughter (5 y.o.) and an infant (2 months old). Hence I booked Sama Sama Hotel at my own expense (fortunately using my enrich miles points). Other than this issue, all services is good.

No recognition for one World Emerald member. Business class seat has flat bed

No recognition for one World Emerald member. I got row 1 in business class and it was pathetic. No leg space, cramped space, less recline

Legs space in the business class cabin is too small and pillow is dirty!

Flight from Shanghai to Kuala Luumpur delay byy 3.5hrs with no real explanation.

Note that food has to be purchased in flight. No free food. And no entertainment in flight. So I’ve treated these two items as okay which, in this case, means neutral/not applicable.

My Dad needed assistance to board the plane. The Jetstar staff were excellent with him and made the experience a lot easier😁

No food taken so can't rate also no entertainment so can't rate.

Boarding was easy and unstressful, though the early "final call" was a bit off-putting. The crew were pleasant, and the seats were comfortable. The prices for food and drink were reasonable, apart from tea and coffee, where simple percolated coffee was charged at espresso prices. Deboarding was OK, though some Jetstar passengers appear to have a bad habit of pushing forward from their assigned rows, making it more difficult to get out for passengers that have paid a premium to sit up-front. Jetstar might want to look to address this to stop it from spreading.

I got to the airport earlier than I expected, and they let me change to an earlier flight with no trouble.

It was a super crowded time to travel out of Melbourne, but the flight was OK

Worst experience ever flying Melbourne to Phuket. 5 hours delayed! Didn’t land till 1am in the morning. Staff were rude and unhelpful

Plane was late leaving darwin so we didn’t get home till 1130pm 2nd time in a fortnight that has happened. Hard when you have to work the next day

It may have been a result of earlier issues with a previous plane, causing delays, but the staff were not nearly as smiley as the previous Jetstar flight I was on. Also, they started boarding before the plane was empty...so we moved from one line into another line. They should have just waited until the plane was empty to avoid waiting in two lines.

We were visiting from California and did not know Melbourne. When we arrived at the main airport, where we also arrived when we flew in, we found to our horror that we were at the wrong airport! There was no obvious to us indication that there were two airports that Jetstar flew out of in Melbourne, or even that there were two airports. The staff tried to find us seats to Sydney but none were available, so we got an Uber and went to the other airport and managed to catch the original flight. The staff were great and very helpful, including figuring out how to check what bag to not have to pay extra for the luggage. I was contrasted with Ryan Air that we had flown with in Europe a few months previously and been treated as cattle and no smiles, no help, just line up and pay. We were impressed by the friendliness and the help extended to us.

Automatic Refunds and No More Hidden Fees: D.O.T. Sets New Rules for Airlines

The Transportation Department issued new requirements on refunds when flights are canceled or delayed and on revealing “junk” fees before booking. Here’s what passengers can expect.

By Christine Chung

The Transportation Department on Wednesday announced new rules taking aim at two of the most difficult and annoying issues in air travel: obtaining refunds and encountering surprise fees late in the booking process.

“Passengers deserve to know upfront what costs they are facing and should get their money back when an airline owes them — without having to ask,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a statement, adding that the changes would not only save passengers “time and money,” but also prevent headaches.

The department’s new rules, Mr. Buttigieg said, will hold airlines to clear and consistent standards when they cancel, delay or substantially change flights, and require automatic refunds to be issued within weeks. They will also require them to reveal all fees before a ticket is purchased.

Airlines for America , a trade group representing the country’s largest air carriers, said in a statement that its airlines “abide by and frequently exceed” D.O.T. consumer protection regulations.

Passenger advocates welcomed the new steps.

Tomasz Pawliszyn, the chief executive of AirHelp, a Berlin-based company that assists passengers with airline claims, called it a “massive step forward and huge improvement in consumer rights and protection” that brings the United States closer to global standards in passenger rights.

Here’s what we know about the D.O.T.’s new rules, which will begin to go into effect in October.

There’s now one definition for a “significant” delay.

Until now, airlines have been allowed to set their own definition for a “significant” delay and compensation has varied by carrier . Now, according to the D.O.T., there will be one standard: when departure or arrival is delayed by three hours for domestic flights and six hours for international flights.

Passengers will get prompt refunds for cancellations or significant changes for flights and delayed bags, for any reason.

When things go wrong, getting compensation from an airline has often required establishing a cumbersome paper trail or spending untold hours on the phone. Under the new rules, refunds will be automatic, without passengers having to request them. Refunds will be made in full, excepting the value of any transportation already used. Airlines and ticket agents must provide refunds in the original form of payment, whether by cash, credit card or airline miles. Refunds are due within seven days for credit card purchases and within 20 days for other payments.

Passengers with other flight disruptions, such as being downgraded to a lower service class, are also entitled to refunds.

The list of significant changes for which passengers can get their money back also includes: departure or arrival from an airport different from the one booked; connections at different airports or flights on planes that are less accessible to a person with a disability; an increase in the number of scheduled connections. Also, passengers who pay for services like Wi-Fi or seat selection that are then unavailable will be refunded any fees.

Airlines must give travel vouchers or credits to ticketed passengers unable to fly because of government restrictions or a doctor’s orders.

The vouchers or credits will be transferable and can be used for at least five years after the date they were issued.

Fees for checked baggage and modifying a reservation must be disclosed upfront.

Airlines and ticket agents are now required to display any extra fees for things like checking bags or seat selection clearly and individually before a ticket purchase. They will also need to outline the airline’s policies on baggage, cancellations and changing flights before a customer purchases a ticket.

The rules, which apply to all flights on domestic airlines and flights to and from the United States operated by foreign airlines, have varying start dates.

For example, automatic refunds must be instituted by the airlines within six months. But carriers have a year before they’re required to issue travel vouchers and credits for passengers advised by a medical professional not to fly.

Texas flight attendant reveals best travel tips for stress-free summer flights

A flight attendant based in Dallas, Texas, is revealing her favorite travel hacks as summer trips near for Americans all over the country. 

Bernice Padilla, 29, has been in the industry for six years and traveled to 44 different countries, she said. 

Over the years, she's collected and created her own travel insights to make getting to and from vacation much easier. 

AIR TRAVEL MADE BETTER: 20 RULES OF AIRPLANE ETIQUETTE NO EVER TELLS YOU (BUT SHOULD)

"May and September are great months to travel as they’re before and after peak summer here in the U.S.," she noted, as SWNS reported. 

The world traveler, who also runs a bucket list travel social media account, said she highly recommends booking travel in the "shoulder" seasons, such as May or September, due to low travel demands before and after the peak summer months.

There tend to be fewer crowds and "more affordable prices" while the weather stays consistent. 

"Every country has its specific shoulder season," she said, "so I recommend doing some research before booking."

To best avoid delays, Padilla said she recommends booking the first flight of the day to get the best chance for an on-time departure, as SWNS noted in its report.

SECRETS FROM FLIGHT ATTENDANTS FOR BETTER, SMOOTHER AIR TRAVEL EXPERIENCES THIS FALL

"If there are any delays, it ends up being a domino effect," she said. 

"Say there is a delay in California due to the weather — then my flight there can’t take off until that flight takes off."

Although that trickle-down effect can have a negative impact on afternoon or evening flights, Padilla said early-morning travel times tend not to be delayed for that reason. 

If travelers are looking to go to Europe and beyond, Padilla recommended trying to find locations abroad that aren’t the most popular.

"Everyone loves to go to London, Rome, Paris and Barcelona — [but] I think there are a lot of great places people can go that are overlooked," she said. 

Padilla said she's going to Argentina, which she recommends as a place that isn’t as populated with tourists, SWNS noted. 

As for packing tips , Padilla recommended using packing cubes if there’s an overpacking issue in a household. 

"I still have a problem with overpacking, but I try not to overpack as much," she said.

The flight attendant also recommended packing only a carry-on during the summer for ease of travel. 

Padilla said she always brings along some key basics that seem obvious but are wise to remember nevertheless: a reusable water bottle , a sweater or blanket, a pen to fill out any forms needed, noise-canceling headphones and a portable charger. 

Padilla creates content on social media of her world travels and has over 93,000 Instagram followers and over 144,000 TikTok followers.

Airlines must cough up cancellation cash and can no longer hide fees under new federal rule

A federal rule announced Wednesday will require airlines to quickly give cash refunds — without lengthy arguments — to passengers whose flights have been canceled or seriously delayed, the Biden administration said.

“Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them — without headaches or haggling,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

The rule from the Transportation Department says passengers who decline other reimbursement like travel credits are to get cash refunds.

It applies when a flight is canceled or has a “significant change,” the administration said.A “significant change” includes when departure or arrival times are three or more hours different from the scheduled times for domestic flights or six hours for international flights, and when the airport is changed or connections are added, it said.

Passengers are also to get refunds when their baggage is 12 hours late in delivery for domestic flights.

The new rule comes after promises to hold airlines accountable after major disruptions that made travel hell for passengers, including the 2022 Southwest Airlines meltdown , which resulted in almost 17,000 significantly delayed or canceled flights and a missing baggage nightmare.

The Transportation Department said that the new rule means refunds are automatic and that "airlines must automatically issue refunds without passengers having to explicitly request them or jump through hoops."

Also announced Wednesday was a rule requiring airlines to more clearly disclose so-called junk fees upfront, such as surprise baggage or other fees, the department said.

It said that rule is expected to save fliers around $500 million a year.

The surprise fees are used so tickets look cheaper than they really are, and then fliers get the unwelcome surprise of fees on checked bags, carry-on bags or reservation changes — or even discounts that are advertised but apply to only part of the ticket price, officials said.

Airlines will also have to tell fliers clearly that their seats are guaranteed and that they don't have to pay extra to ensure they have seats for flights, according to the Transportation Department.

Airlines for America, an industry trade group, said that its member airlines “offer transparency and vast choice to consumers from first search to touchdown” and that they do offer cash refunds.

The 11 largest U.S. airlines returned $10.9 billion in cash refunds last year, an increase over $7.5 billion in 2019 but slightly down from $11.2 billion in 2022, the group said.

“U.S. airlines are providing more options and better services while ticket prices, including ancillary revenues, are at historic lows,” Airlines for America said.

Left out of the federal changes announced Wednesday are those involving "family seating fees," but the Transportation Department said in a statement that "DOT is planning to propose a separate rule that bans airlines from charging these junk fees."

Travelers have complained to the Transportation Department that children weren’t seated next to accompanying adults, including in some cases young children, department officials said last year.

Fees on bags specifically have made up an increasing amount of airline revenues, the Transportation Department said Wednesday in announcing the new rules.

A Transportation Department analysis found that airline revenue from baggage fees increased 30% from 2018 to 2022, while operating revenue — which is from the flights themselves — increased by only half that amount, the department said.

Airlines will now be required to give automatic cash refunds for canceled and delayed flights

The Biden administration issued final rules Wednesday to require airlines to automatically issue cash refunds for things like delayed flights and to better disclose fees for baggage or canceling a reservation.

The Transportation Department said airlines will be required to provide automatic cash refunds within a few days for canceled flights and “significant” delays.

Under current regulations, airlines decide how long a delay must last before triggering refunds. The administration is removing that wiggle room by defining a significant delay as lasting at least three hours for domestic flights and six hours for international ones.

Airlines still will be allowed to offer another flight or a travel credit instead, but consumers can reject the offer.

The rule will also apply to refunds of checked-bag fees if the bag isn’t delivered within 12 hours for domestic flights or 15 to 30 hours for international flights. And it will apply to fees for things such as seat selection or an internet connection if the airline fails to provide the service.

Complaints about refunds skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic, as airlines canceled flights and, even when they didn’t, many people didn’t feel safe sharing a plane cabin with other passengers.

Airlines for America, a trade group for large U.S. carriers, noted that refund complaints to the Transportation Department have fallen sharply since mid-2020. A spokesperson for the group said airlines “offer a range of options — including fully refundable fares — to increase accessibility to air travel and to help customers make ticket selections that best fit their needs.”

The group said the 11 largest U.S. airlines issued $43 billion in customer refunds from 2020 through 2023.

The Transportation Department issued a separate rule requiring airlines and ticket agents to disclose upfront what they charge for checked and carry-on bags and canceling or changing a reservation. On airline websites, the fees must be shown the first time customers see a price and schedule.

The rule will also oblige airlines to tell passengers they have a guaranteed seat they are not required to pay extra for, although it does not bar airlines from charging people to choose specific seats. Many airlines now charge extra for certain spots, including exit-row seats and those near the front of the cabin.

The agency said the rule will save consumers more than $500 million a year.

Airlines for America said its members “offer transparency and vast choice to consumers” from their first search.

The new rules will take effect over the next two years. They are part of a broad administration attack on what President Joe Biden calls “junk fees.” Last week, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced that his department will let state officials in 15 states help enforce federal airline consumer protection laws .

Shocked passengers watch liquid leak down airplane aisle from bathroom on flight: Video

Passengers on board a Spirit Airline flight headed to New Jersey witnessed an unexpected and strange sight midair when they watched a mystery liquid flow down the aisle, seeping from one of the plane's lavatories.

Video shows some passengers sitting in the aisle of the plane gawking at the fluid during this week's flight, while others laugh, some recording footage of the unexpected situation from their phones.

According to a Spirit Airline spokesperson, the incident took place Monday on Spirit Airlines flight 1595.

The plane departed just after 3 p.m. on Monday from Atlanta Hartfield Jackson International Airport and landed at Newark Liberty International Airport at 5:18 p.m. according to the online site Flight Aware, which tracks flight paths.

What caused the liquid to spill?

A maintenance team met the flight upon arrival in Newark due "to an issue with a potable water line connected to a sink in the rear lavatory," a Spirit Airlines spokesperson said in an email to USA TODAY.

The issue was addressed and the aircraft was cleared to continue with its next flight, the spokesperson said.

Another Boeing plane issue? Don't fall for the headlines

No injuries were reported.

Transportation Department cracks down on airline 'junk fees'

NPR's Leila Fadel talks with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg about airlines and consumer air travel concerns.

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Air travel can be a headache with flight cancellations and delays. Well, today, the Department of Transportation may be making that hassle a little more palatable. It's got a new rule out that would compensate travelers whose flights are canceled or are changed in a big way. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is with us now to talk about this. Good morning. Thanks for being on the program.

PETE BUTTIGIEG: Good morning. Thank you for having me.

FADEL: So what's the big change here?

BUTTIGIEG: So the big change here has to do with how and when you get your money back. It is already a matter of policy that you're entitled to a cash refund if your flight gets canceled. But right now, you have to know that. You have to go in. You have to fight for it. Now we are making that the default. An airline is required to promptly return payment to the same way that you paid. If it's miles, they give you your miles back. If it's a credit card, the money shows back on your credit card without you having to ask. We're also defining a significant delay. If your flight is delayed more than three hours domestically, more than six hours internationally...

FADEL: Yeah.

BUTTIGIEG: ...Same thing. If you have that delay, you wind up not taking that flight, you get your money back.

FADEL: Now, what prompted this rule change? Like you said, there are ways that customers have been able to get refunds in the past. But what prompted this?

BUTTIGIEG: Well, let me give you an example of something that would often happen. You would have a major delay or have your flight canceled. And the airline would say, we're going to offer you 5,000 miles, which might sound good. But that might be worth 50 bucks when you're actually entitled to 300. And by taking the miles, you give up your right to get the cash. This changes the default so that you get the cash unless you proactively say as a customer that you'll take some other form of compensation.

It also defines what a significant delay is. This is important because sometimes there'd be a scenario where your flight gets delayed by many hours. You book a different ticket on a different airline that's more expensive just to be able to get to where you're going.

BUTTIGIEG: But you never get your money back on the original flight.

FADEL: That's happened to me before.

BUTTIGIEG: You know, we hear so many of these stories because we've been taking in these complaints. Those have informed this rule. There's also a part of the rule that covers fee transparency, requiring airlines to make it very clear upfront what is included in the price of a ticket. Do you have to pay extra for bags? Will you have to pay a change fee if you try to cancel? It finally standardizes that level of transparency and clarifies that if you don't get what you paid for on one of those - like, you pay extra for baggage, but the baggage doesn't get there, or you pay for Wi-Fi, but the Wi-Fi doesn't work - it specifies for the first time that you're entitled to a refund on that as well.

FADEL: And what happens - well, first of all, how do airlines feel about this rule, these rules that are coming into play? And what happens if the airlines don't comply?

BUTTIGIEG: Look, airlines don't love these expansions of passenger rights, but I believe this is to the benefit of the sector as a whole because passengers will have more confidence that it's worth that ticket in the first place and just have more confidence in the aviation sector. So this is really about making sure that we create a better experience for passengers and a stronger aviation sector in the United States.

If an airline is not living up to this rule or any rule, you can let us know at our website, flightrights.gov. Not only is there information about what you can expect and demand, but also a way to file a complaint with us. If the airline's not refunding you promptly or doing what they ought to be doing, let us know. We'll follow up.

FADEL: Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, thank you for your time.

BUTTIGIEG: Thank you.
