Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

Indeed, no airbridge when boarding at MEL T4 but we did most definitely get one at WSI. Not hard to organise when you’re the only plane in the airport.

I didn’t have a checked bag but those who did waited over half an hour for their luggage. Not sure what the hold-up was.

There is a sign in the domestic section of the terminal pointing to “premium lounges” and there does seem to be a space allocated for a domestic lounge/s. No sign of who the operator might be - but my guess is maybe Plaza Premium. Would be cool to see a Qantas Club here eventually too.

There’s a few staff around and locals checking out the airport, which is otherwise very empty. The terminal itself is modern, functional and looks great.

It does seem kinda weird to be arriving at an “international airport” which feels like it’s in the middle of a field. The security guy said he saw kangaroos right out the front the other day.

We can finally say, you land at Sydney and see the roos hopping around. Was always a misconception from Int'l ppl that you land into SYD and there's wildlife right there.

Im all checked in for my Friday afternoon flight up to WSI from Melbourne. I'm even staying at Mercure Liverpool for the full western Sydney experience. I have friends out that way so it works out nicely.

As a local, Westfield Liverpool isn't worth visiting. Come check out the metro if you haven't been on it yet; the extension opens on Friday
