I am looking to get family back to Australia and as things change day by day the number of airline options back to Australia is getting more and more limited. Add to that the number of countries that have now denying transit passengers it is getting very hard. Any advice or a list on airlines and if their home port allows transit would be much appreciated.

Ian, if you are looking for advice it would be helpful if you stated where you were wishing to get them back from! Just bear in mind that what constitutes sound advice right now may not be the same in a day or two and just because you have bought a ticket does not mean that the plane will definitely fly. Insofar as its helpful, the best advice (generally) would be to move them as soon as you can and if possible use direct flights rather than transits.

Why are your family still stuck overseas? They should've made their way back from last Thursday.
Anyway, AFAIK, ANA is still flying to SYD post Apr 1 and you can still transit in Japan.
Not much else left I think.

Hi Ian, this is something we've been working to put together for a couple of days, and expect to have published soon.
