    Recent Experiences with QF’s new terminal transfer at SYD

    Just note that the airdide bus takes only 35 pax at a time; if you don't make the cut you wait 30 mins for the nexr bus or make your own way.

    QF Platinum Denied Lounge on Arrival with Qantas Sydney Airport

    Arrivals access is VERY useful when you have arrived on international and want to have a shower and breakfast before heading off; I have done this regularly over the years. Losing this would be a major negative for me,
