I think this heading would be clearer if it said "TRANSFERRING INTERNATIONAL TO DOMESTIC".

In any case, the process for making such a transfer to QF from another airline makes MEL a third world airport. There is no interline belt, and even with boarding passes and checked-through bags you STILL have to repeat what is effectively a check-in process to get your bags on the next part of your journey. The queues can be long and slow. MEL essentially makes baggage handlers out of passengers.

This made me smile. MEL might have an appalling bag transfer system, but - to my knowledge - it doesn't have 'prayer police'.

So you can probably pray wherever you want
