2.5 hours in Hong Kong, but only 1hr 50 in Sydney between landing and onward flight to Brisbane 9including a terminal change.
All booked via BA website in one go.
After bag check in when will we likely next see our bags (fnaar fnarr, no jokes)?
I'm assuming HK transit will be straightforward - but where will we go through customs/immigration in Oz, and do we have enough time in Sydney to pick up bags (if needed) and transfer for Brisbane flight?
What happens if we miss Brisbane flight?
Any words of advice/wisdom?
LHR HK is BA, HK Sydney is Cathay, Sydney Brisbane is Quantas.!
Many 100's do the SYD T1 to T3 transfer every day
As SYD is your port of entry to Australia you process immigration, customs and bio-security with all your carry on and checked bags, at SYD.
On an early flight or a later flight HKG-SYD? SYD arrivals very busy 06:00 - 09:00 Pity you could not get CX HKG BNE non stop.
