Can anyone recommend a hotel near the airport where we could book a day room to have a shower and rest? We are Qantas Club members, but I'm guessing that a stay of more than an hour or two there would be more than enough. Any advice from others who have faced this kind of stopover would be very welcome.
There is one thought. Can you change you SYD flight to be on QF60. That way you would have around 1 hour international-international connection and get to Sydney a lot earlier
