Yes you have to get off, and take all of your belongings with you. No immigration, but you do have to go through security to get back into the gate.

You must disembark and take all belongings with you. The aircraft is cleaned, re-catered etc. Should be enough time to go to the lounge (I would recommend the QF Lounge) and possibly have a shower. You are re-screened for security before getting to the gate area.

Last year when I picked up BA16 in SIN, they disembarked the aircraft into a large holding pen area so there was no need to re clear security if just getting off and on again. I don't know if this is a regular thing though. If you go to the lounge, you will need to clear security again though.

Turnaround time can be quite quick so do not dawdle if you want to make use of the QF lounge, which is a 10 to 15 minute walk, depending on the gate.

If you're off sharp you'll have time for quick shower / shop. Beware if you have duty free from SYD - I did recently and was not in a sealed bag - they confiscated it and slung it in the bin!

When we did this flight we had enough time to get off, go to the lounge, shower, change, quick drink, get back to the gate & still queue to reclear security!
It is a fair hike from the gate to the lounge though so probably best not to walk slowly!

(OT - seemed to be a fair few OpUps into F, is this a feature of the route now? Have a WTP fare GUF'd to CW in November, so my only shot of getting into F is operational upgrade roulette!)

BA lounge still closed, so just Qantas available - on BA15 the other day they made a couple of announcements about process for passengers continuing on to SYD, and referenced Qantas lounge as being the one to use. Presume similar details provided on BA16
