    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    Well if you answered my shoes are clean, then they believed you.,. Like they believe it when someone says they only have chocolate and no fresh fruit. Risk assessment at work. I've been the 'wrong' end of that nil action taken after queing and mixed my connecting flight, frustrating but post...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    I imagine the 'gatekeeper' was ABF- they should not action the farm/ national park question. It needs to be AQIS.

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    It is 61. That includes cargo only carriers and what some would consider double ups - eg Air Asia and Air Asia X are separate.

    Domestic flights from Melb/Syd international terminals

    ABF won't flag for that unless you're doing it repeatedly. Might get a bit antsy if the person didn't know what to do - its a rare scenario.

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    The current automatic system we have was implemented by foreign companies, there are several who have done so globally. One of them was involved in the now binned electronic declaration system. Having been involved in several software implementations in the agency involved here, I've never seen...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    It didn't work a lot of the time, the acknowledgement that your submission has been lodged was quite often not received until we after you arrived. A shining example of a multi national consulting and delivery company over- promising and under delivering. The contract was cancelled with not...

    AC34 query

    I don't know about the luggage, but you will clear CIQ at Vancouver. Last time I went through there (5 years ago or so), AC were just starting a process where connecting passengers onto AC domestic did not need to collect luggage - provided it was checked through of course. Whether that still is...

    Luxury escapes launched Male direct flights ex Melbourne

    Or pre-position the returning crew in the days prior. I imagine they would be pushing up against the minimum rest period if same crew operate the return, by stranger things happen.

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    Don't hold your breath waiting for it to appear when booking. The QF codeshare flight on FJ between Canberra and Nadi still says 0 points 0 s/cs. A year or two since the service started.

    No Business seats SYD-CBR

    Unlikely, even when Parliament was sitting in Oct/Nov there was generally one non dash 8 service a day each way between CBR-SYD. Given the date can't see much demand for pointy end seats tbh.

    Qantas A380 Slat Delamination

    Agree. I barely use the IFE even on long haul so 30K would be plenty for me. If someone was 'rawdogging' should they get any (if it was only IFE and seat recline are u/s) seeing they are on a mission not to use it or recline the seat?

    QFi to QFd aircraft transfers (or vice versa)

    QF planes are 'deep cleaned' for Quarantine purposes every couple of months.

    Getting boarding pass for 2 separate flights

    Do Batik and MH operate from the same terminal at KL? If not can you get from one to the other without clearing immigration/Customs? Re any checked luggage - being separate tickets will mean slim chance of bags being tagged through to CMN unless there is an agreement between the airlines...
