You don't totally have to queue as "d" stickers can use the apec/crew booths to far right.

With everyone elae for bag scans however

If transferring from a QF dom to JQ "int" ;) flight, is the QF bus between terminals available, or does the train have to be used?

If its on the same Itin, yes:

If you have a Qantas (QF) flight sector in your itinerary and you need to transfer between terminals at Sydney Airport, you can use the Qantas shuttle bus for free.

And remember its moved!

Should still be fine - done this several times without problem (even brought through some VA stragglers one time) (allegedly)

In my experience a QF WP / P1 card and the arrival BP (QF) are adequate to use the SYD transfer bus from T3 to T1 regardless of what you are doing in T1.

Going from T1 to T3, you only need a QF boarding pass for a domestic QF flight leaving T3. How you came to be in T1 is irrelevant.

I'm not sure how this relates to the published rules, but this has consistently been my experience.


When flying JQ with a D sticker you don't need an express card as the D sticker acts as an express card.

NB: keep your boarding pass as it's your ticket out of the airport at the other end. Also take a photo of it for your records.

D sticker will get you through immigration but if security is long, express card can still be useful at that point.

We got caught out in Jan, with uber long security lines.

Q from a JQ35 virgin

At what stage is the D sticker applied : at check in ?

I assume the WP card carries zero weight with JQ staff ?

Has anyone done a 35 followed next morning by the 36: an overnight turn-around in MEL ?

Thanks

The D sticker is at checkin. You will need to have ID as the details are written on the sticker.

Don't even bother with a WP card - They Don't Care WYA.
 
re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International

Extra question which i suspect Markis10 may have the answer to....

If one was already airside without a D sticker (eg. Arrived at SYD from AKL).

Where would you go to check-in?

Or do you have to go landside and come back through?
