Transferring to a Jetstar domestic flight or other regional airline
If you are transferring to a Jetstar or other regional airline please proceed directly to check-in at the domestic terminal once you have collected your luggage and cleared Customs and Biosecurity.

International transfer
If you are transferring to another international flight please proceed to the international transfer screening point located adjacent to arrival Gate 2.
