  • 22 Oct: QLD + WA quarantine-free bubble

Travellers with itchy feet are clearly excited about the prospect of setting out on the road once more. Eager travellers are understandably planning ahead, with Summer bookings in full swing.


Ahead of this exciting travel milestone, Airbnb is encouraging Aussies to tap into the spirit of flexibility and expand their horizons to explore new places and local communities for their long-awaited holiday reunions. It’s been a long time between drinks for families and friends split by the border, so why wait until the end of the year to book or getaway together - there’s never been a better time to swap the office for a more scenic workspace or enjoy a well-deserved weekend escape.
