When Australia's international border finally reopened in November, many of us started immediately planning and booking that much longed for trip overseas, feeling relieved that we'd finally be able to see loved ones and the world once again.

But with the emergence of conflict in Ukraine, which is impacting many countries in Europe, airlines had to urgently start diverting planes away from the whole region, making your journey even more complicated.

The Quicky speaks to a travel expert, and one of our own colleagues who is concerned about her impending trip to Greece to find out whether it is still safe to plan a holiday, or if international travel is back off the agenda for the foreseeable future.
