I love airports! For the most part they’re similar with the same setup and formula. Sydney airport is a nice Australian airport that looks like you’re in a shopping mall at times. But then again most airports do have that atmosphere. I’m not too fond of the distance though needed to get to the domestic terminal from the international. Otherwise a nice airport! 😎👍

When departing, don't believe the screens in the security line that say 15m waiting time. There's a famous quote that time flies when you are having fun, and here the 15 minutes actually takes 90 minutes. You can calculate how much fun that means... Also there are no separate lines for premium classes or top tier frequent fliers, so don't count on that to get to your flight on time. Although I made it to the gate on time, a lot of passengers didn't, and the flight was delayed two hours waiting for them to finish the security queuing & screening. So don't stress too much in the line, as your plane may wait for you (the airlines are suffering as much as you) On the plus side, the arrivals experience is pretty good. Streamlined machines for passport checking, and friendly quarantine folks welcoming you (and your bags) on your way out of baggage claim and into the country.

Absolutely overwhelmed with people taking the Easter holidays. Surely this is easily predicted and planned for appropriate number of staff but there were only 7 security gates opened out of 17. The place is very poorly managed. Most of the air-cond vents are very dirty. It's a joke to see 15 mins waiting time on the screen while we have been waiting in line for an hour.

I was heading to the Domestic Terminal to the International Terminal to head to America. I had McDonalds there for lunch and it was really surprising how that the kitchen is on another level from the counter. Food is hanged and then gets collected by the worker. It’s like an elevator there. The airport looks like it is modern as well. Perfect! Images are the aircraft I flew with at Sydney.
