I find it difficult to believe anything positive about Sydney airport. Living in Adelaide, I am 'lucky' to be able to use Melbourne for any flights unavailable here. I will not use Sydney ever again because it is just unacceptable.

I'd love to use the new Turkish Airlines route but I refuse to use SYD. Coming from ADL it is just too horrible. Istanbul was just starting to use the new airport when I was there a few years ago and it was most impressive. It was suggested to be bigger than Heathrow. Turkish Airlines was excellent.

There is absolutely nothing "time saving" about the scanners at Adelaide airport. It is really difficult to swallow the concept that anything will really make the check in process simpler. I'll be staying away from Sydney airports.

Nothing can be done to make Sydney airport useful. It is basically past its use by date. Previous technology has been a disaster and I have zero hope for any new technology.

Trying to obtain international upgrades on Qantas is really not possible no matter what they say.
