International transfer in Sydney or Melbourne?

[Princess Fiona]

Hi there, and hope everyone could enjoy the long weekend,

Another question regarding this particular trip.

We are coming from Gold Coast to Syd the afternoon before QF 11 on the next day. It is all on the same ticket. I was just concerned with the short transfer time on offer from Gold Coast the same morning of QF11

Will our luggage be checked through on the previous afternoon for the international flight the next morning or will we need to collect, take to our hotel and recheck in at international the next morning?

Thanks for all your valuable informatio

TQ

The luggage will not be checked through as you are transiting overnight.
You’ll need to collect and check it in next day at SYD T1

Thanks Princess Fiona,

With that in mind, is there a platinum checkin kerbside in Sydney like there is in Melbourne?

No there isn’t.
You can check-in at the First Class desks inside.

All day check-in at SYD opens at 4:30 am. First Check In Suite is located at the end of the northern side of check-in counter D.

I can recommend the Rydges at T1 if you need a hotel.
Not cheap, but its directly opposite the T1 at SYD, and all flat.
Any other hotel will need a taxi or uber to T1, both ways.
Unless you plan to hire a car, ie drive yourself.

Unsure about the invite thing you are talking about, just flash your Platinum card and they'll let you in.

Not sure if you understand how that comes across, but not everyone can afford a card with a $1450 annual fee. For those of us with more plebeian Amex's they might come with a certain number of annual visits to the lounge which you can redeem.

Is that an Amex World Platinum Card? I think they are special....

btw MEL has not had curbside checkin for Platinum (ie F check in) since that closed and has not yet reopened with no (current) F service ex-MEL.
