Re: Declaring items at the airport.
 

Quite often you do get through quicker by declaring one small item than by declaring nothing.
Brisbane's queues in the mornings are now so bad that they no longer XRay everything, but they assess what you declare, where you came from etc and some people get straight through after just saying what they have. I have so much stuff I bring a list, hand it over with a remark about it being the "usual pommy food", and rarely and up in the XRay queue now.

Never forget the time I was behind a guy who had to open his cases, and the first one was full of pizza! Not often you see AQIS lost for words...... :D

Don't know what to say with that - except he must love pizza :lol:

Re: Declaring items at the airport.
 

When I arrived back into Brisbane airport after my trip to the UK I was picked out to have my bags searched, I put my suitcase on the table and was asked to unlock it, I told Mr Customs that it was OK it wasnt locked, he said yes it was and did I have the key. I assured him there was no lock, I would have remembered. It was then I realised that my suitcase was in fact still going around the luggage carousel :lol:
