OOOOOOk everyone, I have an outcome. I had posted this with my TripAdvisor forum peeps as well and I will paste that update here. I have just rushed around like a crazy woman getting all my daughters passport documents together, filled out and application and gone to a 24 hour chemist to get...

Thanks Billy, do you know if photos can be taken at the passport office? I plan to be there first thing tomorrow, which means I won't have time to go somewhere to get her photos taken before hand...

Ahh, so I could get ESTA in her US passport and use that to check into the airport in DPS. IF they were to ask for onward travel out of Australia, I could then show my daughters expired Aus passport and explain that she will be allowed entry at Australian immigration as they will be able to look...

Thanks for your reply. I know you said "legalities aside" with getting an ESTA in her USA passport. I thought you can not get a visa issued to Australia, to an an Australian Citizen? This is NOT looking good :( I could try and go to the Perth passport office first thing with my daughter and...

Hello, thanks for the idea. As am American citizen, my daughter would need to apply for some sort of visa, in this case the easiest would be a tourist visa. However, Australian citizens are not allowed to be granted a visa to Australia on another passport. Basically it says that she would be...

First my situation. My 6 year old is a Dual Citizen (America and Australia). She has a current American passport and EXPIRED Australian passport (expired Sep 2015). I contacted immigration last year when we traveled to America for July/Aug 15. I was concerned about the 6 months validity rule...

Updating on @ozbeachbabe suggestion. Called TOLL baggage, who handles CX luggage. Long story short, NO. They will not allow any bags to be checked outside of the normal airlines time scheduled, in the case of CX, 3 hours prior to departure. Looks like we are dealing with two tired little...

Thank you Oz. I hadn't thought of contacting the ground handler, so I will try that option as see where it leads me. And I am the wife :) PS. Sorry for the lack of spaces and paragraphs in my above post, it makes it difficult to read! not sure why it's done that? EDIT: PPS: Just fixed it...

Hello Fflyers, My family (2adults, 2 children. age 5 and 1.5), will be flying PER SFO in a couple of weeks. Flying CX departing Perth at 23:55 (ouch) Got a questions about check in at Perth Airport. If I were to pre check all of us in online, do you know if I could drop our bags at the airport...

Hi Greenfish, you get my PM message? I can't see it sent?!

Yes Greenfish, I agree about travelling with small kids. I have had to do this trip twice with just my first daughter, which was fine with my hubby as was two against one, but now with the two, it's a whole new kettle of fish! I priced up CX RT in economy and coming in around $5800 (infant fare...

Hi Mumfreqflyer, sorry but I am not savvy at all in the ways of all these FF programs so don't know how to use QF points for Alaska miles and AAdvantage. I wouldn't even know where to start! This forum I suppose, but all sounds a bit hard. Was gonna ask you to have a go for me (and be...

How does one "find" a few more points this quickly? Don't have time to apply for a new CC to get bonus points ;) After doing the maths, it does seems very wasteful to use all my points to save what will actually only be about $1000 I personally wanted to save them so we all could fly business...

Wow, greenfish, thinking outside the box :) Firstly the attachment above (40807) is coming up as invalid. Do I need to do something special to open in? Seeing it would probley answer my question regarding cost. Is the $4295.96 the purchased fare for the 2 other economy seats + taxes for FF...

Re: Please help a travel agent with FF flights Thanks deeskick, I didn't see this option, although with all the stops and transits, it comes to the same amount of time coming home as the SEA PER flight with EK. Would do it no problems if on my own, but having young kids with you changes the...

Hi Greenfish, I put the dates of travel above in my post; Is this what you mean or is there some other date I missed? Cheers,

Hello all, Hi have put this on the general questions page, however haven't gotten much response so am hoping this way will generate a good alternative I am a travel agent and whilst I have extensive knowledge on flight routings, I am not at all savvy on the ways of using frequent flyer...

Re: Please help a travel agent with FF flights Yes, I am hoping to get more alternatives for my trip to the states, but got sidetracked on this haven't we! Well, my kids are very young so am gonna spend 3 days at Disneyland/California Adventure as mid days will be going back to the hotel to...

Re: Please help a travel agent with FF flights Yes, DL would be nice, we are going there with our kids (LA Disney). But Dubai doesn't have to be expensive, there are very affordable accommodation options there. For example, yesterday I booked a stopover holiday for two people for 3 nights in a...

Re: Please help a travel agent with FF flights Can I ask why you don't' want to stop with just you and your daughter? I have been to Dubai a couple of times, one with just myself and an girlfriend and again with family and had a lovely time!
