Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

[markis10]

Plenty of people end up in Austria in a similar way...

We won’t mention Sydney, Nova Scotia, AKA Eastern Sydney

“Jetley” was present but needed to be taken for a comfort break shortly after arrival

Believe it or not - did this exact routing in 2018 .. had to visit friends in SYD and QF MEL-AKL-SYD was $700-ish cheaper than MEL-SYD. Love such flights

Gives new meaning to "why fly direct when you can connect".

Kiwi bloke definitely has a few roos loose in the top paddock too.

Does sound that way.
Albeit if NZ had sold a AKL-WSI, SYD-PER ticket without a lot of warning that you were arriving and departing from a different airport, Id be fairly upset with them as well.

Man Sues Airline After Landing in Grenada Rather Than Granada

When a U.S. dentist planned a trip to Portugal for a conference last September, he decided he'd first swing by Granada, Spain. He never made it.

Surely he would have a few ewes loose in the top paddock?

Passenger says 'double check' after landing at wrong Sydney airport

Some passengers were unaware their flights were to Western Sydney International Airport.

And so it begins.

It's clearly staged imo

I call Shenanigans on that...

Indeed - although perhaps “western Sydney” wasn’t the best idea in hindsight, when one of those words is the same as “Western Australia”

For locals it’s a no brainer but for visitors I can kinda understand.

I can’t think of another city that uses a geographical term to name an airport - ie “western”

Perhaps Sydney Penrith or something similar would have been better

Does VA plan to start WSI flights?

The confusion about the airport's location reminds me of this video.
