Tasmania & New Zealand

Hello Melbourne, clocks forward another 2 hours 🥱

We had to make the transition from international arrivals to domestic departures, which was quite a painful process as it turned out.

Got thru passport control, and picked up our luggage ok. To exit international arrivals, we needed to clear customs, which meant joining one of the massive queues of zombie passengers, winding around the conveyor belts. A queue was bad enough, but with our onward flight a couple of hours away, we pictured ourselves still shuffling forward as our plane to Hobart took off.

Then, as if by magic, there was movement and we were quickly propelled out into arrivals proper - relief.

Next hurdle, rechecking in our luggage. Had to ask for help as the scanner couldn’t read our pre printed boarding passes. Then we had trouble with the bag drop (more help needed). We were slightly told off for taking our previous label off (how did we know?), then had to have our baggage allowance adjusted as it thought we had excess luggage.

Finally, we completed all levels of the game, hopped on the short flight to Hobart and here are - easy peasy 🥴🙃🤪En savoir plus
