Hi,
I haven't been to the US for a lot of years so I'm not up to date on security and pre flight clearances that you need to get.
I am wanting to do a trip flying Emirates First Class on points around this time next year. EK has excellent last minute availability for F and we are willing to take our chances and not fussed about the precise dates give or take a week or two so should be able to get flights.
The only thing is how close up can you book flights and get your pre clearance done? Or can you get your pre clearance done in advance without a particular flight booked? Or can you pay a fee to expedite things at the last moment?
We would both be travelling on Aussie passports and have no background problems.
Or I guess a solution may be to book a flight I don't really want and get the clearance well in advance and then change flights - can you transfer the security checks over to a new flight?
Thanks for the advice.
