Where do the Qantas Jetconnect 737's Park at Sydney (International Terminal).
A mate said that they went in a bus to get to their plane to Wellington.
They don't appear to park at the airbridge stands...

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Hi, Qantas NZ parks at the gates with airbridges. So maybe that day your friend was flying back to Wellington they had to park at the stands as all the gates were busy? But usually they park at the gates.

From Memory, they park either on the West Side of T1, or right in the middle (like nearish the A380 Gate, if you know what I mean??)

When we were there last we had a domestic flight to Darwin straight after our Wellington flight arrived. They just bussed us from the international icon_arrow.gif domestic terminal, so maybe that's what your mate did.

Yeah, the distance between SYD T1 (International) and SYD T2/3 (Domestic) is quite significant, you have to bus.

Also, there is a small bus that travels between two parts of T1 from memory (long time ago, not sure if its still there)

You dont have to use it, you can walk, but I remember they had it incase you were late for your flight or something, it took some time to walk.
