Any body got any tips for a stressful arrival. ?


arrive late at the airport
forget one passport (doesn't matter which)
fill the kids up on 'sunny delight/coke' just as you board the plane
take loads of sennapod just as the pilot switches on the 'fasten safety belt sign'
hide the odd wmd in your hand luggage

must be loads more ;-)

Dare one of the kids to say "I have a bomb and I'm going to blow up the plane"

You could forget the tickets!
Cause a bit of air rage by telling the person next to you they are invading your personal space by resting their arm on YOUR arm rest.
fill the overhead lockers with all your oversized hand luggage, so theres no room for anyone elses!
I'm sure theres loads more ways to arrived stressed aswell!!

there are ways to LEAVE Aus stressed!!

have your visa number in your substantive visa NOT match the number in your passport - (clerical error)

therefore - when you ARRIVED - were in transit - have the air line official issue you with a 3 month ETA without telling you (he can't find any reference to *any* visa) you assume all is good...enter on that one ..again no one tells you..

Next time you leave Aus you'll be banned for 3 years...for overstaying..

happened to me!!! only time in my life i have got aggressive and nasty with the sort of people you should be really polite with!!
