Part 2 : Preparation
An American citizen needs an ETA (Electronic Visa) to enter Australia which can be purchased online, but as has been discussed, there’s a member of Flyer Talk who offers this service for free. I would recommend double checking the ETA after it’s finished to make sure all the details are correct. (I caught a mistake in the passport expiration date of my infant that could’ve posed a problem.)

How do you check your names after the eta is done for you?

They use an international crew, and the ones attending to first class were an American and an Italian.

Wearing Burqas? :P

I stayed in a hotel when a whole crew of iran air checked-in.

They were not in bhurkas, but rather dressed like beis yaakov teachers.
