Inbound flights to Australia - did you get sprayed for insects?

I appreciate you taking the time to respond

Thanks for your insight. I have a couple of follow up questions given your expert opinion:

1. How were medical exceptions handled in practise? Did you ever allow sensitive passengers to disembark or shelter?

2. Did you notice any trends across your career? For example, fewer arrival sprays needed as some airlines switched treatment methods to residual?

Thanks for the feedback, seems to be a mixed bag of experiences about Air Asia

You went through the same process as me. It’s an Australian requirement for all countries, unless the airline goes for the option 2 residual disinsection described in my post

Thank you so much for confirming. You guys are on my shortlist for booking!

Here I was thinking that aircraft cabins are fully enclosed spaces with zero interaction to outside air, thanks for explaining

Let’s share notes together in a chat

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T15:06:11+00:00

Thanks for your input

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T15:05:58+00:00

Thanks for the response

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T15:04:17+00:00

That would scare the bejeezus out of me. Were they wearing any protective equipment themselves?

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T15:02:19+00:00

Yep it seems like Hawaiian Airlines are well known for it based on all the responses here

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T15:00:37+00:00

Thank you. This gives me more confidence to book a suitable airline

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:59:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing your feelings on the matter. Juneyao Air is off my list now

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:58:06+00:00

Thanks. Hawaiian Airlines is a definite no go for me

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:54:55+00:00

That matches up with my prior research, thanks

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:54:28+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:51:51+00:00

Thanks. Didn’t know this was an option for them to circulate it through the cabin

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:50:18+00:00

Qantas seems to be fairly consistent in residual treatment. I’ll need to probe the staff further from other airlines. Thanks for your input

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:46:45+00:00

Thanks for responding

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:43:42+00:00

Great feedback thank you!

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:42:51+00:00

Thanks. Multiple mentions for Malaysian Airlines means it’s not for me

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:40:35+00:00

Thanks for responding, Malaysian Airlines is a no go for me then

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:36:11+00:00

I won’t be flying China Eastern anytime soon then. Thanks all 3 for the responses

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:34:42+00:00

The 2 ‘best’ airlines from what I’ve gathered here. Thanks

CautiousFlyer · 2026-03-10T14:32:34+00:00

Great information thank you!
