Rosann Connolly-George was talking about her second, and possibly last, quarantine-free repatriation flight to Brisbane. In the past week, the Dunedin travel agent has helped more than 300 people get to Brisbane on two charter flights from Christchurch. With the South Island’s relatively low number of Covid-19 cases, the Australian Government has allowed one-way quarantine-free travel into Australia from the South Island. Last month, Mrs Connolly-George, of Vincent George Travel, organised a charter flight for people stranded by the disrupted schedules. Speaking before she got on the flight at Christchurch Airport yesterday, Ms Clarke said it was a "very emotional" day.
