Hi
Hoping somebody can offer some information.
My son has booked with Virgin Australia for a flight Sydney to Brussels via Abu Dhabi through the VA website.
The Syd to Abu Dhabi is on a Virgin Australia aircraft VA29, but the flight from Abu Dhabi to Brussels is on an Eithad aircraft but with a VA flight number.
Reading various websites, there has been comments that although the VA flight is booked with one booking reference that VA don't give you the boarding pass at Sydney for the Abu Dhabi to Brussels leg and you have to line up in Abu Dhabi to receive your boarding pass for the Eithad flight to Brussels which can take up to 2 hours !!
Has anybody had any experience and can offer information on this. ?
Also, if he has to line up to get his boarding pass for the Abu Dhabi to Brussels flight, does he go to the Virgin Australia or the Eithad transfer desk in Abu Dhabi. ??
Then on his way home, again it's booked with VA booking reference, but he's flying Eithad aircraft from Brussels to Abu Dhabi and also Eithad for Abu Dhabi to Sydney, so does he check in at the Virgin Australia or the Eithad desk at Brussels ? Also will he be given the 2 boarding passes in Brussels since he's 2 return legs are with Eithad. ?
I'm presuming his luggage will be checked through to Brussels when he checks in in Sydney and on his return journey from Brussels ?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is the first time he has flown alone so want to pass on as much info as I can to him.
Regards
Karen
