AA73 due 01 Sept 2024 07:05 (~90 minutes from now) looks to be early 06:28 vs 07:05

Some long (red) delays with other flights this morning

So they should make it with the 2:00hr transfer on separate tickets. May even have time a QF T3 lounge visit. All about risk vs the consequences

Being in F will be amongst the first off the aircraft,
If have checked bags (not stated above) could add another 10-15-20-xx minutes
As the first time to SYD will not be familiar with the AU immigration & custom's biosecurity arrangements and the T1 to T3 transfer shuffle
The DEL flight due 5 minutes after AA73, is late, which is good. Some of those pax can have enormous amounts of luggage, that can be sent to secondary, and have slow custom's biosecurity
