I tried to check in for QF35 this morning at MEL. I was told by multiple agents (including in the First class check-in room) that I was too early and they only open the check in 3 hours prior to flights (3.5 hours for A380 flights).
I know this has been widely known as a general rule, but many major airlines, including Qantas, used to accept all-day check-in at their (major) home ports (i.e. MEL and SYD). Is this not the case anymore?
On a related note, I tried to check in yesterday at CBR for a trip to Europe. Even though my 'transit' in MEL was less than 24 hours, I was told I had to collect my bags in MEL and re-check them in the next day. While in the lounge I checked QF web site and now they specifically say they only check bagged through on "same day" international connections. Was this always there?
