ADL is absolutely fantastic for International arrivals. If coming back from Asia we have several decent options but Qatar is our most commonly used airline to get further abroad and it’s pure bliss arriving back into ADL. Straight off the plane, baggage is usually there within 5 minutes and customs/immigration is a breeze. Never more than 30 minutes to be landside and then we park pretty much right next to the terminal.
We live about an hour away from the airport and often well under 2hrs from landing to being home
We were at this Ukraine border crossing yesterday, just for a look.
Even though well away from the war zone in the south-west it was still quite surreal to see family groups, old women with shopping bags and guys on bikes coming and going as if nothing else is happening.
Sydney’s good. Cops a bad rap Kingsford smith but really when you touch down it’s so easy to pick up your stuff, exit through customs and get out to grab a ride home.
And the new M8 road makes traffic brilliant. I’m home half way across the city in 15-20min.
In Jakarta currently and the Raffles is our go to here. They always treat us amazingly and normally get upgraded to a suite but this time they put us in their top suite that is going for $5k a night.
