Jetstar do not interline baggage with Qantas Domestic.

In any case, if you are checking bagage, you would be SOL.

Without checked luggage and assuming you are scheduled to arrive at 11:20pm and hope to catch the Noon QF flight to SYD, your chances are slim.

Required events:
  • Gate to Immigration (Hope the gate is a low number - at can take 10 minutes)
  • Immigration (Hope the queues aren't big; it can take 15 minutes easily)
  • Customs (Hope you get to go stright out with nothing to declare - can take an hour)
  • Walk to Domestic
  • Security
  • Walk to Domestic gate (Hope for a low numbered gate)
At best that's about 25 minutes - the door should close at 11:50 giving you 5 minutes leeway.
