Enough time between flights?

Q: Hi all,

I am scheduled to arrive via Jetstar from Cairns to sysydney at 9 am, to catch a 1010 am flight out on Air Canada. the Jetstar flight requires an international check-in procedure and I am wondering if I will have enough time in sysydney to make my connection. in addition, can my luggage be checked all the way through?

Thanks all

Random tip: Caribbean Travel tipsa: According to this chart, They wocould not interline bags with Air Canada and 2 hours is recommended at Syd for such a connection http://www.jetstar.com/au/travel-info/at-the-airport/connections.html A: I don't think that's enough time, vivid01. international check-in is a couple of hours ahead of the flight time-and if you're on a heavily booked flight, you can spend quite a long time in the queue.

It may be different if you're on an international transit-but you really need to check with Jetstar & Air Canada about this and also whether Jetstar will/can do a through booking on your luggage. random tip: Visit the Belfast Botanic GardensA:All you will need to miss your flight are too ready flights waiting to land and yours put in a stack-or weather. also you are going from the domestic to International from a Jetstar to an international flight-you are too short by about one hour at least. a: You will need to transfer from the domestic terminal to the international by bus-can't always rely on the bus being there when you want it.

you may also need to get seat allocation in sysydney. we traveled Melbourne to sysydney then by Air Canada to Vancouver and had to line up in the international terminal for seat allocation so it took much longer than we thought. A: thanks all, I have come to my senses and rebooked my Jetstar flight to get me into sysydney the night before.
