Hi everyone, Just wondering if there is anyone here that has had to deal with the UK Visa and Immigration department recently and/or if they might have any suggestions for me. I am 3 weeks from flying to the UK with my wife and 3 children to study for 12 months. after receiving the required...

I was just doing a little more googling on things to do in London and noticed the "London Pass" has anyone used this as a way to sight see with a family? think it was worth it?

Thank you all so much for the advice. I now have my flights booked for the 7th of September with Emirates, which gets us into LHR at 1840. We decided to just pay up and get a chauffeur to pick us up and not have to worry about navigating trains with 3 tired cranky children. As for...

You are probably right regarding the car seats, just thought it would be nice to have one less expense over there if it can be checked in for free. Good luck with the Masters!

Hi Everyone! In a very happy turn of events, I am moving to Cranfield (a small town outside of London) from Perth with my family (wife and 3 children, 2, 4, & 6)where I will be studying on a fully funded scholarship. It's been quite a few years since I have travelled extensively and have never...

haha, yes I knew this would all be solved very quickly on here. Thanks again everyone!

Oh wow! I didn't know about this. I am at the Schlumberger base which is past the airport on the west side so I guess ADNEC would be closer. Thanks very much for this information, it helps a lot.

Thanks again! yes I just managed to be connnected with someone from Etihad who understood what I was asking. They confirmed the extra 15Kg and told me that there is a City terminal where you can drop your bags off up to 24 hours in advance. I never knew about this so thought I would share it...

Thanks for the reply. I am ticketed under Etihad so now sure if the extra baggage is the case or not? I have tried calling twice and both times I spoke to someone who was completely and utterly confused as to what I was asking... Not very helpful at all

So had a bit more of a look and it says on the velocity website that you get an extra 15kg if you are virgin gold. Does that mean you can check in two bags of 30kg and 15kg?

Hi Everyone, I am flying EY486 AUH-PER which leaves tonight at 2225hrs tonight. I am in Abu Dhabi between patches of wifi and am not able to freely surf the web to find answers to a few questions. I have tried calling too but am getting a lot of ambiguous and misinformation so thought you might...

I don't think they will let me up from steerage for that :(

Great! Thanks opusman! I haven't flown internationally out of Perth before is there much difference between the EK and QF Lounge in Perth?

Hi Everyone, Sorry for reviving a fairly old thread. Also, thank you FlyingScot1 for all of the valuable information. For information, I was booked in economy on a saver ticket, so with alll 4 legs I was still going to be a long way short of even silver, so decided to just put my gold...

Does anyone know what sort of income checks citi conducted. I am "currently" over the minimum income because I am between jobs and currently being paid by both but in a few months will be below the minimum spend. I might be able to apply for the card but would like to know first before I commit...

I just got this email from Emirates: Dear Mr Smith, Thank you for your email requesting an upgrade to your Emirates Skywards tier status. At this time we are unable to offer you a match to a Skywards Gold/ Skywards Platinum tier. We will review your account for an upgrade to a Skywards...

Well that's good. For some reason in the Military we never got any FF points when we flew, even if it was with Qantas.

I just changed over my flight details so that it has my Qantas FF on it. My understanding is that I won't get Status or FF points, but I will get access to the Lounge. Is this correct?

I have had a bit of a look to see what the implications are of trying to use my Gold QFF with my emirates number on the card. Can't seem to find anything yet though. :confused:

Ok, So I have my Itinerary updated in Emirates... I have the option to add either my Blue Skywards Frequent Flyer Number or my Qantas one... What are the pro's and con's of either?
