More than 240 Queenslanders are still waiting in Western Australian hotels, figuring out how they can return home amid the coronavirus pandemic.

With widespread cancellations of domestic flights, many people have been left out of pocket or with flight credit they say they may not be able to use.

Hundreds of Australians were quarantined for a fortnight in WA after their cruise on the Vasco Da Gama docked in Fremantle in late March.

West Australians on the cruise were taken by ferry to Rottnest Island, a popular holiday island about 20 kilometres off the coast, where they were accommodated in the island's chalets, units and hostel rooms.

Australians from other states who were on board were taken to city hotels for their 14-day self-isolation.

Mackay resident Noreen Jensen said her quarantine period finished over the Easter weekend, but there were no flights to Brisbane which she could book.

"We are stuck here," Ms Jensen said.

"I try every couple of hours to get a flight — there are no flights.

"There is no hope out there.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone wanting to charter a flight, to do anything to get us home, yet the [Western Australian] Premier will pay — it must be millions — to keep us here."

Bribie Island resident Greg Akeroyd said he had tried to purchase many flights since being placed in quarantine and most had been cancelled, except for one on April 24.

"We were booking flights and then the flights would disappear," he said.

"We'd book something else and that would disappear.

"We've still got $2,500 outstanding at the moment.

"When you see a flight and you're in a hurry, you book the flight even though you've got a voucher somewhere.

"We may or may not be able to use our vouchers for those flights, if and when they get organised."

Not enough flights, WA Premier says

A spokesperson for Queensland Health said it was in talks with WA on the issue.

"The individual states where individuals depart from following their quarantine period are responsible for leading repatriation efforts and negotiating with airlines," the spokesperson said

"In all circumstances, Queensland Health wants to see Queenslanders back on home soil."

On Monday evening, WA Premier Mark McGowan said there were not enough flights.

"What we're trying to do to solve this problem is working with the Commonwealth and Qantas and even looking at chartering an aircraft to get people home," he said.

"The other thing we're looking at doing is whether or not we can get the Indian-Pacific back up to do a run or two back across the Nullarbor to get people home, and whether or not we can get buses if we can't get flights.

"All of these things are currently being worked on — I just want to get people home back to Western Australia as soon as possible and get eastern-staters out of here as soon as possible."
