In this part, we will mention about the travel ways from Myanmar to Australia.

There are three main places to flight transit, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. For that you better discuss about the schedule with the flight ticket agents. What you need to take into account are flight duration, waiting time in transit and cost of ticket. Most of the airlines have the student fares so that you can get more weight for your luggage and the cost reduce as well.

Another important thing is checking all the ticket as early as possible and book the one which suit you. Better not wait the visa decision. In most of the airline, Booking is free. Don’t forget to confirm too. January, February and June, July is the peak time for travel. Although you can get ticket from Myanmar to transit country, you might not get ticket from that country to Australia might be a bit difficult. Therefore, be aware for that.

As soon as you get to the transit country, search the transit counter. And you need to stamp on your ticket to Australia from transit country. For that confirm with your ticket agency. You might need to wait for short or long time depending on your choice. And check in at least an hour and a half earlier than the departure time. (You can also ask about Check in time in transit counter)

Just before landing to Australia airport, the flight attendance will give you a Yellow Card to declare what you have taken. As soon as you pass the immigration counter, you can take a trolley and get your entire luggage from the rotating belts. After that be ready the Yellow Card and they will scan inside all your bags while checking your Yellow Card. That’s for Custom Officers to check what you have got into Australia. Wood, plants, vegetables, fruits, medicines and any kind of home-made food are strictly prohibited. However, there is still some chance you can take some of these things. But remember it is your responsibility that you must declare what you have taken when you fill up the Yellow Card. Otherwise, you will be fined.
