G'day,

Just a small confusion; when transferring to International flights in Sydney from domestic; say for example: BNE-SYD-SIN, can you go through the "Business/First Class" security entry/ lanes if you are traveling in Economy but a QF Platinum (Emerald) member?

Can a platinum member use the fast lanes (Security/Immigration etc.) even if they are not traveling in J or F class?

Thank you.

No unfortunately. “Fast track” as we used to know it has not come back post COVID.

Only F/J PAX currently.

But with all the new security screening prior to immigration, SYD T1 seems to be flowing better. Not sure how it’s been going over this summer season.
 
Thanks for that clarification. Went through twice in the last month. It was chaos but it was moving fast enough; no long delays.
