Each container should not exceed 100 ml Use a clear, resealable plastic bag Place resealable bag in hand luggage Maximum 1 litre capacity Pack personal belongings in your hand luggage. Place laptops in an easily retrievable location as you will be asked to place in trays provided at the security checkpoint. Check with your airline about baggage allowances. Generally 2 pieces of baggage are allowed for international travel with the weight of each piece not exceeding 32 kilograms, however this may vary by airline and by fare type. Excess baggage must be repacked and excess baggage fees typically apply. Always remove old baggage tags as they may cause the baggage system to reject the luggage it is attached to.

Here are some budget conscious restaurants in Dubai. * Karachi Darbar – Scattered throughout the city, this is a chain of Eastern restaurants serves delicious food for minimal money. * Jabal Al Noor - Another Eastern chain restaurant serving regional fast food. It's different, delicious and dirt-cheap! * Toscana - Moderately priced Italian food that's as authentically Italian as Tuscany. Perfect for when you want something different. * Wafi Gourmet - Impressive Lebanese cuisine and ambiance to match.

Hi Can anyone advise if there is a better way to get from Brisbane to Gold Coast Coolangatta Airport? Aside from driving or taking a taxi that is. On public transport I can only see journeys that involve two trains and two buses? Is there a simpler way? We need to get there on a weekday for late afternoon. Thanks.

Hi, We're moving over next yr and are considering where to live. My husband is going to look for work at an international airline so we need to live within 45 mins of an airport. We thought Brisbane was going to be most suitable as we have a good work contact there but finding somewhere to live within walking distance of a nice beach is proving unlikely from the research I've been doing (I've just put a post in the Queensland section in case anybody has any bright ideas that we've missed). We are unmovable on living near to the beach - at the moment we live a 10 min drive away in the UK but never get around to going and I'd like to be able to take the kids after school regularly. We loved Sydney but don't think we can afford to live close to the beach there as house prices are too high (unless there are suburbs further out that are accessible to the airport where house prices are more reasonable?) Although we liked Cairns when we visited, we don't like the fact you can't swim in the water. Perth is an option as we loved it there too, but feel he would have a long commute to the airport in order for us to be able to find an affordable beach suburb. Can anyone suggest where might be a good fit for us? We haven't visited Melbourne, Adelaide and lots of other potential cities. We have three kids so need good schools and are looking for a place that has a community feel. Any suggestions of places we could research would be appreciated! x

my Giirlfriend and i are coming over to work, she works for Virgin Australia NZ as a flight attendant and i am a farm worker, though she would like to have a place within 20 minutes of Melbourne airport and i would like to be near to the countryside than the city. any help appreciated thanks

Does anyone know which queue I will join to get through passport control, on arrival in Sydney, if I am travelling on my Aussie passport and my 4 yr old is travelling on their British passport???? :eek: Many thanks

hello, my partner is a plasterer and is coming to oz sept, was wondering if he was aloud to take work tools? (hawlk & trowel) silly question i no but dont fancy hefty fines at brisbane airport x

Hi all, Am new to this forum. My partner, my 2 year old son and I will be making the move to Melbourne towards the end of the month. I will be working at Tullamarine Airport and my partner will pick up some part time work to start with where she can. Can anyone suggest some nice areas to live which are close(ish) to the airport. I don't mind a 20-30 drive. I will be on a scooter on my commute which should be handy. Ideally we would like to be as near to the city as possible, but we don't want to be cramped into a snug townhouse without a backyard etc. Some people have suggested Coburg/Pascoe Vale, but in our price range we are either going to get an older property or a new townhouse which I know is going to be cramped. Also, areas with nice parks, daycares, transport to the CBD and shopping (supermarkets, general stores) close by would be ideal. Thanks so much.

Children up to two years old (24 months), are not required to have their own seat. You must, however, inform Singapore Airlines that you will be traveling with an infant on your lap. Only one lap child is allowed per adult. If one adult is traveling with more than one infant under two years of age, contact Singapore Airlines as special arrangements are required. You can also choose to purchase a seat for your infant as long as you have the proper child restraint device. Will I pay for my infant to travel domestically? Contact Singapore Airlines for more information. Will I pay for my infant to travel internationally? Yes, a child under two years old (24 months) is usually charged 10% of an adult fare plus taxes, even if the infant will be on the lap of another passenger for the flight. What if my child turns two on the trip; will I have to buy a ticket for the return flight? Yes, a ticket will have to be purchased for any flight on which the infant will be over two years old. What types of child restraint devices are allowed? The use of booster seats is prohibited. Approved car-type child seats may be used for children under three years but not less than six months of age. The seat must be forward facing and can be secured to an aircraft passenger seat by means of an aircraft safety belt. It must also be approved under one of the following foreign airworthiness authority / government standards: United Kingdom (UK) Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States of America as meeting the Technical Standard Order TSO-C100b; or seats that have two markings: “This Restraint is Certified for Use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft" in red lettering and “This seat conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)". European Safety Standard requirements of United Nations ECE Regulation 44 (UN/ECE 44). Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) No. 213 titled “Child Restraint Systems" or CMVSS No. 213.1 titled “Infant Seating and Restraint Systems". Australian/New Zealand design standard AS/NZS 1754 for infant car seats. Child harness approved by FAA is also accepted for use on the aircraft. However, not all models may be fitted on our First and Business Class seats. You may wish to contact our Singapore Airlines office for more details. Manufacturing standards and instructions must be provided by the customer to our ground staff and crew for reference. Usage of child car seat and child harness on board is subject to all child safety seat requirements. Both cannot be installed on seats in the emergency exit rows as well as the rows immediately before and after it. What infant amenities are available on the aircraft I'll be flying (i.e. bassinets, diaper changing tables)? Infant amenities vary by aircraft. When you're on the airplane page, look for the Infant Amenity Icon. If it is present, clicking on it will tell you what infant services are available on that airplane. If you do not see it, infant amenities are not offered on that aircraft. You can always contact Singapore Airlines for more information. While a limited number of bassinets are available on board on a first-come, first-served basis, Singapore Airlines recommends that you request a bassinet upon booking to assure easy travel with your infants. The dimensions of the bassinets are 768 L x 298 W x 158 H (mm). Bassinets can support a maximum weight of 14kg. Can I sit in the exit row with my infant? Lap children and infant seats are not allowed in exit rows. In fact, no one under the age of 15 is allowed in the exit rows.

Work will begin on the expansion of Perth Airport in early 2012, with $750 million to be invested in it over the next three years.** Perth Airport CEO Brad Geatches welcomed the expansion of both the international and domestic terminal. He said: “This is a very exciting time for Perth Airport. Construction has begun on the new domestic terminal, adjacent to the current international terminal, which will service regional WA and some interstate routes. “This represents the beginning of a significant development programme, allowing passengers to move seamlessly between regional, domestic and international services.” The development includes a major expansion of the current international terminal with a new arrivals area, enhanced departures area and a new domestic pier, which will become home to Virgin Australia in 2014. “Building on the $200 million invested in recent years, a further $750 million will be invested over the next three years to ensure Perth Airport delivers an airport experience befitting our state and one of which we can all be proud,” added Mr Geatches.

Hi All We'll be arriving in Melbourne from the UK in March next year and we've a 5 and 2 yr old. We get in at 8pm ish from Dubai and we're hoping to get an airport hotel room for the night to crash in before picking up a hire car and driving down the GO Road. Anyone got any recommendations for hotels that we should look into or any that might be a little further afield that do a reliable pickup (given that our kids will want to be in bed as soon as possible)? Regards Gaunty

Hi All Any advice or info on taking lap-top, external hard drive & memory stick thru airport security and the X-Ray machines. Thanks

Hey guys, My flight is booked for 17th january and im supposed to be landing at 20:30 at night , just wondered what are the peak times at sydney so i know what kind of line at customs i should be expecting, plus i have my new boss picking me up from airport so don't want to keep him waiting for a long time haha Thanks

My husband is travelling to Perth this week with Emirates and will probably want a shower in Dubai both ways. He has access to the Lounge by being a member of priority pass. Does anyone know are the showers in the lounges? Do they provide you with shampoo, towels etc?? Many thanks. x

Hi Guys, Need to get from the airport to Mornington on the evening of the 29th November, any recommendations for a taxi firm to do this? I know its going to be pricey but dont want to get ripped off. Any help greatly appreciated.:biggrin:

Hi Everyone, Well we are finally coming out to validate our visas in December, staying in Mandurah first then onto Scarborough (Seashells in both) 13th till 27th December. :jiggy: Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced Taxi Wagon to collect us from Perth International Airport and take us to Mandurah??? 4 passengers & 4 suitcases on 13th December 2011 at 3pm. I've booked our hire car from Bayswater Car Hire in Freo........a Corolla Sedan.......hope its big enough to carry us and our suitcases!!! What do you think? We will be in the Seashells Scarborough for Christmas, can anyone suggest somewhere nice to eat out on Christmas Day or would you do a BBQ on the beach? I'm so excited to be finally heading out to Perth but also a little scared.............so many big decisions will be made on this trip! Will we find a suburb we like? Will there be work for my roofer husband? Can we afford a house? Will my 16yr old fall in love with Perth and agree to come with us? But at least at the end of this trip we will finally know what direction our lives are going in instead of the limbo we've been in for the last 3yrs while we've been trying to secure our Visa. Fingers crossed by August 2012 we will be living in Perth. :biggrin: Thanks Little Lisa xxx

TRAVELLERS are being warned to arrive early to Melbourne Airport tomorrow as customs officers go on strike again. Hundreds of customs officers will walk off the job* for four hours from 7am tomorrow for two hours, followed by another four hour stoppage from 9pm. The move will add significant delays to passengers to the processing of passengers travelling on international flights both in and out of the airport. A spokesman for Melbourne Airport today said that passengers would face delays. "This will affect arriving and departing passengers on what is one of the busiest days of the week for international travel," the spokesman said. "We are strongly encouraging international travellers tomorrow to follow the advice from Customs which is to arrive at the airport early, and go straight to customs." It comes after talks on a new deal failed this afternoon. Qantas baggage handlers and ground crew from the Transport Workers Union will also go on strike tomorrow for two hours from 7am and again from 4pm in a further headache for airline travellers. Qantas management will fill in for baggage handlers and ground crew tomorrow in a bid to minimise disruption. But the TWU action will still impact on more than 6,800 passengers, with 14 flights cancelled and 38 flights delayed by up to an hour.

Should we book one? We have 6 hours stop over. I am thinking kids and swimming pool - do we get towels? Do we need to book a room for all 5 of us? or would we be o.k with eg a triple? We don't need the extra beds - more of a bag and wee -pee stop. And if we book one which terminal or are they all close together that it won't really matter??

How do most people get to the airport with all their bags and passengers????? I am not even sure what 40kgs looks like bags wise. Will we fit it all in one car? Or are we best doing a hotel the day before?

Hi every 1, Just got a quick question, Does anybody know of any good car hire companies from Brisbane airport want to hire a car when we arrive for a few weeks, any feed back would be great chris :biggrin:

Hi, I've been told to expect at least a 1-2 hrs wait to get through Customs at the airport as they check the actual contents of your luggage. Anyone had any recent experiences of going through Customs in Melbourne? My flight gets in at 910pm so trying to estimate how long my friend will be waiting for me. Thanks :wink:

I'm sorry but this really winds me up, the developers get planning permission to build houses next to the airport then the residents who have purchased there are complaining and going for legal action about the noise, for goodness sake why the hell did they buy there in the first place:mad::mad:

We're flying into Brisbane airport at 0050 on a saturday morning and wanted to have a hire car booked from this end. my problem is however, i cant find anywhere open at that time in the morning with most of them closing at 12. I reckon by the time we get through immigration and stuff it'l b bout 0200. Has anyone used a rental company at that time of morn?
