Hi All,

May be an odd question but i'll ask away :)

I just ticketed a MH/VS RTW in J class and all sectors on both airlines will be on paper tickets. Anyone experienced using paper tickets on VS before? VS check in agents still process these don't they?:)

I'm booked in Z so no limo [:(]

I'm flying SYD-KUL-NRT-LHR-SFO//LAX-KUL-SYD

Cheers,
Kenn.

Yup, no problem whatsoever. While they're certainly becoming more rare, you quite often see passengers with the paper ticket/ATB section attached to their boarding pass at the gate.

Enjoy... [y]

Thanks Preiffer :) Just another quick one, is there a fasttrack immigration line when landing at SFO?

Nope.

I don't know of any fast track immigration lines in the US, although ISTBC.

Sorry, Howard

Nope - none. You're all treated equally badly as equals.



Actually, sorry - that's not true. There IS a fast track line at SFO - signposted "US Citizens"... [:w]

;)



Seriously though, immigration in SFO is NORMALLY quick due to the time of day that the VS19 gets in. The only time it can be utterly painful is if the 19 is late, and lands JUST after the KLM or BA (or both [:0]). That then dictates that even the first off the plane are #401 or #801 in line to see an inspector.

Thanks guys for the info :) Hopefully VS19 won't be late :)

I take it there is a fasttrake line for landings at LHR? Travelling on VS901.
