Hello, I am flying into Sydney early in the day and have 6 hours to spend with baggage before we had to cruise terminal. Two of us would like to use the restaurants that participate in Priority Pass Landside. On the Priority Pass site it does not specifically mention departure or outbound flights like some lounges do.

Two questions:

1. Does anyone have experience using landside lounges upon arrival in Sydney and did it work?
2. The reason we are looking for landside is I am thinking we will need to pickup baggage. Is this done inside security or outside, as I am guessing I will need to go through customs. Or will I be able to collect bags and customs and then go to lounge?

Thank you.
