SYD International Processing Times

[arbo]

I'm on SQ222 this Wednesday afternoon and would like to know what the current times are like to get through check in and security / customs at the SYD international terminal.

Are people still experiencing the 1+ hour to get through?

Thanks

It took me 11 minutes from kerb to F lounge when travelling on QF1 a couple of weeks ago

I believe @Anna flew through SYD yesterday and my friend will also be tomorrow so I can report back...

Cheers - I'm not travelling F unfortunately but am WP with VA so I'm hoping to bypass some of the masses at check in.

Is the priority screening at customs and security back in operation yet?

Came through Sunday afternoon about 1:00pm. Immigration lines were back almost to the checkin area and express lane wasn’t open. Security moved though fairly well. Luckily I was able to get around a lot of the queue with the APEC Lane.

Sorry, I went through PER not SYD.

All good - and no queue at SYD this morning according to my friend who went straight to the QF lounge...

Thanks - seems to hit and miss lately. I'll be there more than 3 hours prior so won't have any issues at this rate.

Cheers

Seems worse in the evening was less than 1 minute when I went through at 5:30am on 22nd April.

So arrived 11:30 this morning and was through check in, customs and security in just over 30 minutes. Not too bad considering recent experiences of some!

Longest delay was at the security screening with only 5 stations open.

Thanks everyone!
