Q about connecting in BNE

Hi all,

Flying to BNE from YVR on AC. International connection BNE to AKL on Virgin (same PNR, in fact AC codeshare). Which formalities do I need to do in BNE? Will my bag be checked through?

Thanks,

Run&Fly

Others here should have an answer about bags.

Happy travels.

On 1 PNR bags would expect bags to be interlined and you should be able to stay airside.
BNE is a small airport

Transiting between international flights is simple, you don’t even need to leave the International Terminal. When exiting your aircraft, follow the ‘International Transit/Transfer Passenger signs’ and make your way to the Level 3 ‘Departures Area’ for your next flight.

We recommend you check with your airline about whether your luggage will transfer directly, as every flight is different.

As you are transiting Australia airside you should check if you need a visa. Will depend on your passport, etc. Only a few passports need a visa.
If you formally enter Australia, for say an overnight, would you need a visa depending on your passport etc..
