    What’s YOUR minimum transit time?

    I’ve had a domestic flight change before my international one. BNE-SYD now due to land at 17:45 with SYD-YVR scheduled to depart at 20:30 It feels too close to me, but am I just nervous / overreacting? What would be your comfort gap to transit from a domestic flight to international one?
