Sydney terminal 2 check in -current situation

[Haplo]

It's my first time taking a virgin flight since early this year, I know they were doing renovations back in Jan, can someone shed some light how long is the bag drop queue now without priority?

Back in Jan I waited almost an hour just to bag drop, and add another half an hour for security which meant I had 10 minutes only in the lounge to grab a quick bite.

I am flying out this Saturday.
