How early before the flight do they allow baggage drop at SYD T1?
Have an evening departure (2030) at end Jan. QF75. Will they let me drop of bags and pass through immigration at around 11am?
Qantas has not offered all-day check-in at Sydney Airport since 2020, unless you're flying with hand luggage only. If you have checked luggage, the earliest you can check in is around six hours before departure.
We were just refused at SYD QF F check in counter for QF11 SYD-LAX departing 17:45
After checking with colleagues, the check-in agent said that all-day check in is not a thing here, and to come back 4 hours before the flight when it gets "opened".
Is this a US-bound flight thing or have the check-in rules changed at SYD? The kiosk also told me that my flight was not available yet for check-in.
