Edinburgh To Townsville
Hi Everyone,
Just a little update to say that I am leaving the UK on the 9th of June 2008 from Edinburgh and arriving in Townsville on the 11th. Am flying with three different airlines BA, Singapore Airlines and Quantas. I have never been to Australia but taking the plunge and seeing how I like it.
For thoes flying from Edinburgh I chose BA because they charge excess baggage by the case and not by the KG for domestic flights, it only cost £16 online for another case giving me a potential 62kg check-in baggage, instead of the extra £130 BMI wanted. Also Quantas charges by the case and is payable when I arrive in Brisbane $20 + GST.

I have confirmed with Singapore Airlines that on an unvalidated Permenant Resident visa that double baggage allowance is given and I have an email to prove to checki-in staff.
Very excited about going and a little aprehensive but this is normal. Got three weeks holidays when I arrive in Townsville, to settle in and get all the boring things sorted.
Anyone in Townsville want to meet up with this young Scottish guy?
Scottie.
