    Arriving in the US without first night accommodation booked

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    shbap well done to you. If you don't mind me asking what is you status compared to your colleagues, I have observed through seat reduction a perceived 2 x SG @ T-24 receiving J/F upgrade over 1 x WP to utilise every seat in F.

    ESTA Validity Period?

    Best to leave ESTA application closer to departure date as ESTA lasts for two years from the date of application. Made the mistake of early application, now realise will be travelling to LOTFAP for third time within 20 months but will need new ESTA.

    How long should it take to ticket?

    Yes that's our situation. I filled in APIS with our passport expire date prior to travel date. Will update once new passports issue. Can only assume filling in the APS boxes flags a green light for ticketing.
