Rock and a hard place.
Frank,
I've had to book my flight and pay for it in advance. Long story short - I'm doing it on Qantas frequent flyer's points. There are only so many of these seats allocated to each flight. I was able to secure one basically for free (AUD$283.57 airport taxes). Downside - no choice when you go and you better book them a long way in advance. At that price it seems they're somewhat popular.
Anyway, the flight is on the 6th May: Brisbane - Sydney - LA. (No choice which way you get there either). I will take your advice and check before I plan to put the bike on for space available, which will be around two weeks before I fly out. I'm going to adjust the bikes book in date with regard to their freight commitments, but I'm estimating a minimum 5 day buffer prior to my flight will be ok. I will be up the proverbial without a paddle if my guess is wrong.
Do you know any more regarding collecting the bike in LA. I realise that I cannot get the bike released with out insurance, but can I buy insurance there on the day or do I have to get it before hand. In short what do I have to do?, where do I have to go? My flight arrives at 0640 LA time so I was thinking that I could have the bike the same day.
Kind regards Ben.
