So, on Sunday, I booked my flights to LAX!
Although, I was advised by my travel agent that it isn't a good idea to book my flights without having my visa organised yet, but then she did say the flights would get a lot more expensive between now and October (when I will be receiving the paperwork from Disney required for my visa interview), so she let me go ahead and book them!
Itinerary:
Flying with Air New Zealand
Jan 5th - Departing Melbourne 11.45am.
Jan 5th - Arrive Auckland 5.15pm.
Jan 5th - Depart Auckland 7.15pm.
Jan 5th - Arrive LAX 10.30am.
Also, haven't finalised my connecting flight from LAX to Orlando, but I have been told it's best for me to book with an airline that has and interline agreement with Air New Zealand, so I don't have to pay the excess baggage fee's that would apply for a domestic flight within USA.
So I had my travel agent have a look for me, and turns out Air New Zealand only has an interline agreement with United Airways.
Which means, the only flights available for me through United Airlines from LAX to Orlando (as I land in LA on the 5th of Jan, and have to be in Orlando by the 7th) are at 10-11pm on the 5th landing in Orlando at 6am on the 6th, or a 10am flight on the 6th, landing in Orlando at 8pm on the 6th.
And because I want to be in Orlando for our group dinner on the 6th, I'll most likely be heading to my travel agent tomorrow to book the night flight on the 5th, landing in Orlando at 6am on the 6th! Although, that does mean I'll be spending 12 hours at LAX, but I'm sure I'll find a way to keep myself busy for that long!
I also headed to Australia Post today to get my $43 money order to send off with my police background check, which I will be putting in the post box tomorrow morning! Fingers crossed I don't have a criminal record that I don't know about!
148 days until disney!
