    How would customs know someone has TRS-claimed good(s) on them?

    There are a lot of legislated powers in the Customs Act that can be used in relation to the items that restrict if ever see the light of day for travellers, but no legal impediment to them being used. High value jewellery items do attract attention when the sporadic ' crackdowns' happen - a bit...

    Los Angeles (LAX) Transit Questions & Tips

    Common sense says keep the bags together, so even if only one bag is of interest they are kept together. Plus something maybe detected in the process of investigating the bag of interest warranting a check of the other.

    QR MEL to YUL via DOH

    When I flew it around 5 years ago, it was 2-3 thousand dollars cheaper than the nearest other offer available. This was Federal Government travel/contract. Travel time was around 5 hours longer, except for one return requiring overnight (free) in Doha to get the QR flight through to CBR, which...

    Qantas Club "Additional checked baggage allowance"

    The explanation for the tilda (~) next to allowance on the qantas club page states a explanation/disclaimer and refers to the checked baggage page where the explanation is fairly clear. If one doesn't follow the tilda, I can see where some ambiguity appears. LIke many things its allin the fine...

    QR MEL to YUL via DOH

    P is the business lite fare class, so you're good to go. Having flown that route for 2 return trips, I found having a massage and swim in the spa (not in the lounge and it does cost) was great for getting on board and getting sleep straight away. I'm notorious for getting little or non sleep...

    Its called Interactive Advanced Passenger Information (iAPI). Australia has it as well (was the first country to do so 30 odd years ago). The airline sends passport data, from the swipe at check in or what is in the PNR to the relevant govenment and government sends reply after checks they do -...

    I have 15 days in the Middle East (Cairo/Petra/Israel) - priorities

    Agree with bpcmemorial. Given it could well be quite warm to hot, staying overnight or two at places where there is a lot of walking, like Petra, allows the sites to be seen in the cooler am hours - Petra opens at 0600. We did the Treasury and surrounds on day 1 and the 'back' way to the...

    Classic Award to Sydney - How Long to Leave for Separate Booking to Melbourne

    Yes the bags can be tagged to MEL and boarding passes issued. I can't comment on the automatic rebook, although having checked in you like to think that would happen but can't say definitively. I have had call centre agents (from HBA) tell me that as it is a QF - QF 'connection' that it will be...
