Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

[Quickstatus]

We can say that WSI will be pretty quiet on the passenger side for the first 12 months at least

From the passenger perspective, that is a positive.

Not sure if this has been posted here yet or not, but the video in the link below provides a good perspective on what the "customer experience" will be like, even showing glimpses of what I assume is a lounge facility

Did think it was interesting the signage says "Welcome to Sydney". I'd have thought it should have read "Welcome to Western Sydney".

Welcome to Western Sydney

Fixed it, you're welcome

Maybe MEL should be called Essendon West International Airport?

Only if Avalon took the title of Melbourne International airport too

You can catch the Airport West tram to get to Essendon, so that's already taken. Maybe Sunbury East?

It is "Tullamarine" ... (or "Tulla") ... that's what us locals refer to it as!

(Similar to "Badgery's Creek")
Badgerys Creek

That’s our A321 freighter tomorrow provided no delays again

Tullamarine

Correct, you could use West Tullamarine International Airport.

Avalon is closer to Geelong than Tulla is to Melbourne, so it should really be East Geelong International Airport

North Geelong, East is a bit watery.

North Geelong, East is a bit watery.

A bit hilly. You Yangs. If we're going down that path "Geelong North East Airport" or perhaps just "Geelong International Airport" as it's just as close to Geelong CBD as MEL is to Melbourne CBD. Or why not do a Basel and have more than one name.

JQ seats to WSI on Weekend Frenzy sale today

So- is anyone booked on the inaugurals?
Looks like I’ve missed the boat on WSI-OOL 25/10, but WSI-MEL still available

Do?

What’s the go with the first inbounds? Will they be positioning only?

Avalon Airport says "Welcome to Melbourne, Avalon Airport"
