While this is not set in stone, your travel date is after it's expected to be enforced, no fee at this stage and valid for 2 years, but if you have booked, register before they set a fee. Personally I try do a 11 hour lay over in LA, do a quick trip to the haunts and then take the redeye to NYC, saves a night in hotel costs, and you get to see 2 places for the price of one. I recently spent a week in NYC, photo's in the sig, expect it to be tourist central, worse than LA. The Empire State Building is really not worth it, go to the Top Of The Rock, where it's not crowded and fab views. Last edited by Tom Lohdan; 9th November 2008 at 02:13 PM. |

Do you still need to do the annoying form on the plane ?

Actually it's not
It's still pending if it will be mandatory, and I hope not. The address details are to be updated each trip, but I've refused to use this new system until they enforce it. Last edited by Tom Lohdan; 9th November 2008 at 03:17 PM. |

Yes until they make the choice of which system they use. So even if you use the new system, you are still required to use the paper forms.
Only in the USA |

As with the US Visit system, where you need to fingerprint yourself on exit, this is a new system and is not law or mandatory, it is a trial and you can do the standard paper inair forms until it is decided. |

I would like to add that in most likelihood, QF at LAX, as with any airline with a similar connecting service at an outport hub, would have airport staff with pax manifests ready at the gate to identify passengers booked on tight connecting flights. If there were late arriving flights (maybe say, 20-30 minutes late), they'd try to hurry the pax through where they can etc. If it's an hour or hour and 15 minutes late they'd probably miss the connecting flight anyway - might even have rebooked you already on another flight to your final destination.
