I'm *hopefully* travelling to the UK on an emergency travel document next week. It will be me and my 4 year old daughter.

Has anyone had any experience on travelling on these? Does it go smoothly? I'm stopping in South Korea and am concerned about getting stuck there!!

Thanks in advance.

what emergency passport are you hoping to get? Oz or UK?

try the Priority Processing Service but do it tomorrow! you will get a regular (non-emergency) passport.
Call the Passport office and ask if you can have an appointment with them instead of AusPost, then pick it up from the Passport Office instead of waiting for the mail to come.

It's a UK emergency passport. I'm eligible for Australian citizenship but haven't got around to the test yet...

""UK Emergency Travel Documents are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from South Korea."

Thanks for the replies.

To add further confusion to the mix... British embassy will only issue an emergency travel doc in my last passports name, which was maiden name but flights are in married name...

Has anyone had any luck changing names with the airline? Or flying with marriage cert? I'm going with Korean airlines.

Ask the airline. Most won't but it depends on the class of ticket. The more you paid, the more likely you are to be able to change.
