How come you don't go through immigration upon leaving the USA? That really surprised me. The qantas check in staff just took the little slip out of my passport and that was it! I went through security looking for immigration and there wasn't any!

SC. I cleared US immigrations when I was in Canada. Although in Canada, I was on "US territorial soil" at the airport, seperate section ... and after being fingerprinted so many times, apparentally my finger prints didn't match the ones on my VISA that I got in Australia! LOL

when I got to SFO, i just checked in bags, showed passport, that was it. Nothing more !

no I mean when I exited via LAX there was no immigration to go through. When I said "you" I meant it as a collective "you".

skijacski, I looked at that website. A ski bag is $600 USD AU--> US and $390 US--> AU ... you must have got a discount somewhere, but then again, it does say indicative ... hmm expensive!

SC, yes I know it wasn't me [img]tongue.gif[/img] but yes that's what I'm saying, no immigration for me too! Only when I left Canada into the US.

Yeti, did you get body scanned at SFO? we did!

some guy behind us was asked repeatedly if he had a belt or anything on, he'd say no, so they'd do the body image scan again, stand him aside, ask him again "no"... a few more times and he said, "oh I've got my belt on, if I take it off my pants will fall down" a few giggles all around from passengers and the customs/immigration woman said well don't be doing that now

Hahaha going to Vancouver from LAX I was that asian, lol, well, I forgot about a new belt I bought! I never wear a belt onboard, and this time I did. They gave me a full patdown, it wasn't amusing, it took 10 minutes! I nearly missed my flight !!!
