Thanks for the replies. Will try it out of Syd if the lines are long . Used it plenty of times out of Aus and into Hong Kong and China on my own with no worries. Will not bother in US, don't like rocking the boat when arriving there as they can be difficult.

HHHmmm thanks for the replies. Might not bother since I don't want to be mucked around. How about going out of SYD? I haven't tried before but at that time of day the lines can stretch and would like to go the APEC line with them if I can just to save the wait. Thanks Chook Legs

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has travelled into Dallas with their spouce and kids and used their APEC card to get through the shorter lines at imigration. We are going in Dec and the shorter line will help with our transfer to our Boston flight. Thanks Chooklegs

Hi, I've flown VS to Hong Kong return about 5 times in the last 2 years in PE and always had the purple seats. Very happy with the quality of seat,comfort, space and service as well. I would choose them everytime if I had the option for all my flights. have a good trip!!

It seems as though they may not be interlining with Virgin America on there web page anymore. Next month we are booked to go SYD-BOS with V australia and Virgin America. After reading your post I went into the V Australia site to do a dummy booking to see if Virgin America come up and they don't...

Thanks for the replies. Yes they were the same flights and it was only 2 weeks or so ago that I checked and it was 384000. Dave, when did they change the way it was calculated? Your right the cheapest way is to buy LHR-GLA but it was just a shock to see that it had changed without warning...

Hi All, I have been sitting on booking some flights for my wife and two kids using points until I had enough points this month. We are chasing Syd-GLA Rtn. I was just checking the calculator when I noticed that the amount of points required has increased. Until recently it was going to cost us...

Actually in the long run I think the kids adjust easier to a long haul flight then the parents. that includes jetlag as well

I agree with the night flight being easier. we flew last year to UK with emirates. A 10 month old and a three year old. They both slept pretty good on the first leg with a 9pm departure from Sydney. the three year old could curl up on the seat even though it had fixed arm rests and the baby was...

OOOPPPS Sorry I meant VS flight to Syd not VA

Hi All, Coming home from China in a fortnight. Dragon air from Xiamen to HKG and then VA to Syd 3 hour stop all up. I know that the two airlines don't interline so does this mean I have to go through imigration to baggage area to collect bags and then out to main desk to re-chck in? Its not a...

Hi, I fly VA to Hong Kong several times a year and always go in premium. Thats by my choice and not the company. It is much more comfortable and roomy and you certainly do notice the difference. Great service and food too. I think they have one of the widest PE seats on offer from any airline...

I've used Virgin PE a few times rtn to HKG and found it to be very good. I have also flown emerates economy to the UK. Although I found emerates to be a good economy product I would definately choose the virgin option as then you don't have to go economy at all. Also, as docjames said, concider...

Hi Simongr, My wife is brittish and still on UK passport, myself and two young children have Aus passports. We have been back a couple of times and always travelled through the UK entry lane. Actually the first time my wife and I went back alone I stood in the epic visitor lane and she went...

Have a look at webjet annual mutlitrip on their web page. I got it for a family for $300. had my company insurance agent look at the detail for me and he gave it the thumbs up. Covers you on private or company trips.

I started to read this thread halfway through a trip with Emirates and decided not to reply until home incase I jinxed myself. Now that I am back I can honestly say I have plenty of praise for them. We were a family of 4. Children are 3 and 11 months. I travelled Syd to GLA with them in y. On...

Does the person sitting up the front of the plane use more fuel then the ones down the back????

Hi, I returned from BOS 2 weeks ago and did the LAX to BOS direct on AA. The service on AA is very ordinary but you get there. Flight home was good as there were only 50 people on the AA flight and we all had seats to ourselves and since I was traveling with 2 kids this made things much better...

When you get to Glasgow the bags come out on a seperate baggage belt in a room next to the domestic one. When you go down the stairs from the arrival area to the baggage area turn left towards the belts. Go past them and the room is right in front of you. Anyone can walk in and out of the room...

Hi All, We are looking at booking to fly Emirates SYD-GLA later this year. I will be travelling with my wife, 2.5 year old and 8 month old. Naturally we will be requesting a basinet seat. I am curious to know: The location of the basinets on an Emirates A340-500 and the 777. ie are they located...
