Arrived in SYD on Kalitta about a week ago (I have a right to enter Australia btw).

Since Atlas suspended international jumpseating, I was limited to Kalitta, great crew by the way.

Australia Border Force chick was mean as hell, questioning me why I was taking a cargo flight instead of pax carrier. She insisted I take a pax carrier back to the U.S but I don't see any directive from The Australian government explicitly forbidding jumpseating. May be they are dying to get your $100-ish departure tax.

Upon arrival, the crew went their own way to the hotel, I was escorted to go through the immigration and I was literally the only one in the terminal.

NSW police showed up and brought me to a quarantine hotel for 14 nights.

Food is very decent, the menu changes every day but you are allowed to order groceries and one uber eats per day.

7 more nights to go
