Hi all,
Hubby and I will be returning on VA2 back to SYD early August next year - will be departing on a Friday night, arriving Sunday morning, 6.15am.
We will then have to get a domestic flight from SYD to MEL. This will be on a completely seperate ticket to the LAX-SYD flight.
Wondering how long we should leave between flights ? After a 15hr odd flight, don't want to hang around waiting for the domestic flight for too long, but also don't want to have to rush, or even risk missing it.
So..........
1. Personal experiences of "on time" arrival for VA2 ?
2. Is there anywhere I can look that actually tracks "on time performance" ? Have "googled" but nothing is jumping out at me.
3. Thoughts on how long to leave between arriving on VA2, collecting luggage, clearing customs, getting to domestic terminal etc etc.
4. Once we book our domestic tickets - is there any value in ringing VA and getting them to make a note that we will be coming in on VA2 ??? Would they even do this ????
We will be travelling in PE on the way back (couldn't get J) - I am Plat with VA, so should get "Express Passes" for arrival in SYD.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Brooke
