| 1204202 | 2011-05-21 21:47:00 | Hmm don't know anymore, you used to just fill out a visa waiver form on the plane for a stop over, I don't think you need a visa to visa Canada though. Go down town and ask a travel agent or ring one to ask | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1204203 | 2011-05-21 22:03:00 | No you don't need a visa but you need to register online for travel to the USA Have a read of this info. www.airnewzealand.co.nz |

| 1204204 | 2011-05-21 22:23:00 | So you don't need one if passing through but the final destination cannot be Canada. Makes things awkward them because it seems from reading the Link Safari posted you will need a Visa for the States | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1204206 | 2011-05-22 03:30:00 | I dont think you can just transit through the US anymore. In march we flew heathrow auckland via LAX on Qantas. Without doubt the worst airport experience of my life. Even if you are only wanting to transit through LA I had to apply for a US VISA, collect my bags go through customs etc then turn around and check in again. LAX had 18 lanes of immigration to allow you to enter the baggage hall (after being fingerprinting etc) but only 4 lanes to exit through customs. The Queues were ridiculous , imagine a room with several thousand people in trying to form queues hundreds of meters long in three or four different places without any directions or lane markings. Screaming children, swearing passengers. Positively third world (and I've been there) Will never fly through US again...dont care how much bigger the luggage allowance is. |

I couldn't agree with you more about LAX. We are opting to spend an extra night in Seattle to avoid coming home via LA. Will do it via San Francisco. I know of several frequent travellers who, if they have to fly to or via USA, use San Francisco. We did have an awful experience at Sydney airport en route to Cairns. A similar thing, hordes all trying to exit one section and obviously not enough staff to streamline the crowds. One airport official was running up and down screaming into his cell phone that he couldn't cope!! :help: |

| 1204210 | 2011-05-23 13:56:00 | There are two major events in Canada worth visiting in July- unfortunately they are near enough on opposite sides of the country, but well worth the effort. The Royal Nova Scotia Tattoo - in the first week of July - It is well worth seeing, it has many of the acts in the Edinburgh Tattoo - and is the largest indor show in the world. The Calgary Stampede - July 8 - 17 in Calgary, Alberta - A SUPERB WEEK LONG RODEO - It is a great experience and well worth the effort - even if you are not all that fussed about Rodeo, it is an unique expereince. Also there is the Rocky Mountaineer Scenic Train ride that is again worth the time and effort. Enjoy your holiday - Incidently Air Canada and Air NZ are both in the same air miles syndicate - could be easier to get Air Canada out of Sydney. |
