Photo: NZ HeraldWith just a few hours until the state of New Zealand's travel bubble is clarified by the Prime Minister, Air New Zealand has increased the amount of flights on its website. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is set to announce when the two-way quarantine-free travel will start to Australia at 4pm today. But it's Sydney where the main bubble appears likely to have formed with flights out of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and even Queenstown. Airlines will need flights for quarantine-free travellers only, who will then need to pass through an airport without mixing with transit passengers or returnees heading for MIQ. Dedicated airline and airport staff for quarantine-free travel will also need to be kept from mixing with other airline and airport staff.
