MEL T2 Airside Transit doable?

[downloadingdata]

QF from NZ connecting to CX to HK on seperate tickets.

If I don't have any checked luggage, can I transit in MEL T2 without going through immigration and going back in again? I imagine the QF desk in NZ will not issue me BPs for the CX flight.

You can check in online with CX and get your boarding pass on the CX app

Yep! But for contingencies (e.g. app broken, no OL checkin due to ferry sector etc), is it possible to do airside transit in MEL without an onward boarding pass? i.e. some airports have transit desk on airside that can issue onward BPs

I know SYD allows you to go through transit security without a BP. I've never done it in MEL. I believe I also read somewhere that MEL transit security is not always open.

You can always get your CX BP at the gate.
