We did the SYD INT to DOm transfer coming off QF108 from LAX this morning connecting through to MEL and I agree, what a nightmare!
We were very lucky really with the way we managed to get through but I pity many others who would have had much longer queue waits than we did.
The flight arrived late from LAX and we were advised onboard that those transferring the the MEL flight we were booked on would be rebooked on a later flight. We were in Y+ - op-up from Y so were off pretty promptly. Bags came quickly and Mr Timtammi was trying to scout where the customs queue started (NEVER seen one like it, it seemed to snake everywhere!) when a customs officer approached me, asked a few questions and stamped our cards to let us go throught the fast exit yellow door - yippee! Then the queue for the transit check-in which got much worse by the time we had also waited for the bus. We were just lucky that we were ahead of the worst of the queue thanks the customs official. Then the flight we were rebooked on couldnt take off for over half an hour after the scheduled time due to waiting for pax transferring from INT flights - surprise, surprise...
This is a shambles as has been posted by everyone else..
They really should do something about it, I was embarrassed.
Cheers
