International arrival connecting to domestic flight - Adelaide
Hi All
I'm got an early morning arrival in to ADL and am connecting to a MEL flight with a 90 minute connection time. Both flights are on the same ticket.
I'm sure this is ample or I wouldn't have been able to book it on one PNR, but I am a bit concerned with how long it will take to get through Immigration and Customs.
I'll be travelling with hand baggage only so no worries about waiting for luggage and rechecking.
Assuming no unforeseen delays, is this enough time? Is ADL an easy airport to navigate?

Super easy, we're talking 10 minutes tops from gate to gate (passing through immigation-customs/quarantine-domestic check in-domestic security). The lengthiest waits will be at immigration and domestic check-in if you're in economy,.
When you exit customs/quarantine, you'll see a cafe, turn 180 degrees and head either towards the escalators upstairs or the lifts behind the escalators.
Along with CBR, ADL make for an easy INT-DOM transfer.

If you had checked luggage i would wish you luck, ADL is my home airport and i must say it is the absolute worst if you have checked baggage (have waited 45 mins with our plane the sole arrival) and the wife and i always bring back a little food and rarely are we out of quarantine within an hour of arriving.
You will have no problems whatsoever.

Not technically. And in MEL going from the int terminal especially (gates 12/14/16/20) to the more distant domestic gates is a fair bit of trek. ADL by comparison is more like landing at gate 2 in MEL then going back to the duty free area.
