wonder how airline ranking relates to that airlines / countries government support ........... 

 

(guessing there will be some airlines that don't recieve any goverment assistance)

Hard to work out which REALLY do the Best job in the safety arena.  It starts OFF by saying STORY BY Esther..... Nev

Qatar Airways is basically an arm of the Qatari Govt, it is wholly-owned by them, so limitless petro-dollars go into ensuring they're a "premium flying experience". I flew business class from Doha to Perth on a Qatar B777 about 12 yrs ago, it was the best airline experience I've ever experienced.

 

Meals are cooked on board to your order, and the fully-reclining seats that lay flat for sleeping, have inbuilt massagers! Even better, there were 34 seats in business class on the Qatar B777 flight, and there were only 9 occupied!

Good luck with getting through the TSA without a body orifice inspection!! 😄  Always remember in America, it's, "Yes, Sir!", "No, Sir!", when anyone has some kind of authority over you!

Middle aged white couple. No problems . No anti America posts on Facebook. No criminal records. Should be no drama. Bought the tickets before all the trouble started and I ain't wasting them  even if I do get jailed and sent home . If I  get a cavity search they will say isn't his brain meant to be in his head. No he drives trucks.😁

Age doesn't mean a thing to the TSA, they will jail old grannies if they're considered suspicious. Just hope you don't see the four letters "SSSS" on your airline ticket. Australia is probably regarded as a source of anti-American feeling under the current administration.  😞

They'll go through the entire contents of your phone, and even look for your stated opinions on social media sites - let alone search you and your luggage intensively. And they won't put anything back, that's your job. And locks on things mean nothing to them.

Plenty of Aussies still going there without a drama. You can't go by what's on the net.

My father en-route to NZ had a stop off in Chicago some years ago (dont remember what airline).

The barely trained monkeys there kept him detained for 4 hours as he could not produce the required thumbprint from both hands and therefore the box on the form could not be ticked

My father had lost one arm in an accident 30 years before.

 

I have good friends in America and have travelled some there mostly west coast, I'll see what happens in 4 years time before considering further visits

What other countries you have previously visited will be if interest. Don't make BOMB jokes or try to be funny. . Nev

We are following all recommendations.

Carry printouts of our itinerary.

Carry my prescription with my tablets.

Accommodation is all booked so they can see that too. Only going to Vegas then drive up to Reno and down the coast from sf to la then home. Only going 14 days.

Neither of us have ever left Aus except for Rottnest island.

I hope you have a good Break and experience there.   Find out about tipping. Nev
