:Erm :why you want to book a return flight ?On the family permit your wife has a right to be with you.

Never mind the flights...

Make sure that they carry some recent chest x-rays in the hand luggage, to save time at immigration.

chest x-rays??? why?...and wat will happen if they do not have them,...x-rays of my wife and son??....i thought after getting the permit..it wud be easy..

Will you stop being an old biddy...???

The chest x-ray is helpful, in case the immigration wants them to have 'em taken at the airport facility, and could be a few hours of wasted time, waiting for them to appear at the exit.

Just be prepared, like the boy scouts...

If they don't have the x-rays ain't too important, if they aren't asked to have it done there, they will be referred to your local hospital...
But it will take time.....
