Hi team - apoligies for the basic question but being BNE based I haven't arrived into MEL from overseas for a long time.

Later this year I arrive into MEL from HKG on QF. It is an early morning arrival. I have a QF flight back to BNE late afternoon on a DIFFERENT Ticket. I realise I'll have to collect my luggage to pass customs but then plan to head to the lounge to work for the day.

From recent memory it is something like 4hrs before a domestic flight that I am able to do a bagdrop. Is there anyway as an arrival on a QF international flight that I can do an early bag drop for my QF domestic flight? I have done this a few times in SYD but not sure if MEL has the same setup?

Cheers!
