    Coming home from Europe via Kuwait, UAE & Ethiopia

    I've been travelling between Australia and Europe quite regularly over the past decade. It's a long trip, so I usually try to break it up and enjoy a stopover (or four) along the way. I also love getting the chance to visit more unusual places. The journey is just as important as the...

    Transit in LAX/Immigration

    I am looking at booking a paid ticket Syd-JFK via LAX using SkyScanner. It would be operated by AA, codeshare QF & BA. The transit time in LA is only 90mins which feels a bit scary but, worse, I have been someone (who may not really know) that you have to offload the luggage in LAX and go...

    International transit via China

    Does anyone know if mainland China has resumed allowing international transits (without a visa)? I can't find a definitive answer online, so I just tried calling Air China (the Australian office) and they weren't sure either.

I presume as we transit from domestic to International we can exit and spend the night in a Hotel? And presuming that luggage can be checked through to DXB from Adelaide. Any issues...
