Hello all. I'm flying ADL to SYD and then connecting to a BA flight to LHR. All in business. I read the fast track lane was closed at Sydney some time ago for some renovations. Can anyone tell me if it has been reopened?
Closed for who knows how long. Message from Sydney airport when I emailed them said could be a few months. Depending on the time of your flight on how long the queue will be. If you have a two hour window to board should be more than enough time.
I transited through Sydney this week and it hadn't been reopened but having said that, as a transit passenger, you enter through a different entrance and my experience during this shut down has been absolutely fine of late. However, I always try to transit through Melbourne rather than Sydney if possible.

The queue was pretty short when I was there a couple of weeks ago - this was around 2pm on a Saturday.

Thanks everyone - that's very helpful. I won't look out for a fast-track option. I have three hours to transfer, so it shouldn't be a problem
