Flying QF domestic from SYD this Friday. a questio…

Hi all,

Flying from SYD with QF this Friday. I say some horror queues on the news from T2, is QF in T3 as badly affected? Recommendation for how early I should arrive for my 8am departure?

Do you have lounge access/what class of travel/where to?
HLO/bags to drop off for plane hold?
OLCI or do you want to try to get on with trying to get a BP at the lounge, if you have access?
Personally, I would get to T3 open area at 6am.
One time, when I was aiming for an early A330 from SYD to MEL, then they did an equipment swap, 6.30am became a 7am or so flight for me.
This was a while back, pre covid.
I tend to stay at the Ibis Budget and walk from there to T3/(T2 when flying VAd).
Do you have a person to drop you off, or do you be dropping off (rental car), or bus/train?

Sorry about the waffly acronyms.
To cut it short, 6am to sum up, but others would say, no need to be too early.

I had a 9am departure last Monday and arrived ~7.15am. Security queues busy but moving quickly. I was in the lounge at ~7.35am.

I'd reserve 45-60 mins for the security queue, plus all the other hassle in the terminal = there at least 90 mins before the departure time.
