[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sydney connection probably too tight so likely you’ll miss the connection anyway. Does the Perth flight leave from the same terminal or do you have to transfer? When are you travelling? [/quote]

You will need to get any checked luggage and go through immigration in Sydney. If the Perth flight is from the domestic terminal, you will need to get a transfer bus. Best to travel with carry on bag only to give yourself the best chance. [/quote]

Thanks for this.  I’ve never flown after arriving in Sydney.  I guess I have to recheck my bags???[/quote]

You always have to go through immigration and [b]customs (hence picking up bags) [/b]at the first port of call in a country. You’ll have to do the same at LAX coming back if flying the same route.[/quote]

Not true in the Schengen Area (most of the EU). You clear passport control in your first arrival airport, but your bags are checked through to your final destination. In order to do this they have separate areas of airports which have passport control in either direction - that's why you have to allow an extra 20 minutes to clear Schengen exit passport control when say flying back from Paris.

Many Asian countries have this also- Japan, Korea, Singapore.  Years ago flew from US to Thailand through Tokyo- just walked between gates at the Tokyo airport because it was all in the international transit part of the airport.

This system is called "sterile transit" because it allows you to transit through an airport without entering the country if you are connecting between non-Schengen flights.[/quote]

This is irrelevant to travel to Australia[/quote]
