[2025 Mascot Airports] Travel Guide for Kingsford Smith Airport (Updated Mar)

How to: e-Passport at Sydney Airport Hello everyone, We just came back from our first trip to Sydney. It’s the end of winter. The weather is great, with a minimum temperature of around 10 degrees. If it’s sunny during the day, it’s around 20-22 degrees. Just bring some extra warm clothes because even though it’s winter, Australians will be sunbathing on the beach if it’s sunny. From this trip, we’re going to share how to get through immigration at Sydney Airport with an e-Passport, which is very convenient. We’ll share other tips such as booking flights, where to stay, and getting around the city, etc. in future posts. - This time, we flew with AirAsia X because we got a promotional round-trip ticket including luggage and food for around ten thousand baht. It should be the cheapest airline for direct flights. They use the A330-300 with comfortable seats, but we recommend booking 5-6 months in advance. - Bring a pen to fill out the immigration form (yellow) that the flight attendants will hand out on the plane. (Don't forget to apply for a Visa before you come to Australia) - When you arrive at Sydney Airport, you will see an e-Passport machine (as shown in the picture). Scan your passport and answer questions on the screen (in Thai). Once you answer, you will get a ticket. Keep it safe. - When you reach the immigration checkpoint, go to the e-Passport counter and insert the ticket into the machine. The door will open so you can go through, take a photo, and wait for your luggage. It takes less than 10 minutes in total. It's very convenient. - At the last checkpoint before exiting, give your passport and the filled-in immigration form to the officer to check, then you can exit. #TravelAustralia #TravelAbroadByYourself

#favouriteitinerary The SilverKris Business Class Lounge at Sydney Airport is a fantastic space to relax before a flight. It’s well-designed, with plenty of comfortable seating areas and a spacious layout that never feels overcrowded. One of the standout features is the abundance of natural light, which makes the whole lounge feel airy and inviting. Unlike the First Class Lounge, the food here is buffet-style rather than à la carte, but the selection is still impressive, with a good mix of Asian and Western dishes. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, making it a solid dining experience for a business class lounge. The service was excellent—staff were prompt, attentive, and ensured everything was running smoothly. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a meal, get some work done, or just unwind before your flight, this lounge provides a comfortable and efficient experience. Definitely one of the better business class lounges out there!

#favouriteitinerary The SilverKris First Class Lounge at Sydney Airport is an absolute standout, offering a luxurious and seamless pre-flight experience. From the moment you step in, the ambiance feels refined yet welcoming, with a sleek design and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it the perfect escape from the busy airport. The drinks selection is top-tier, with a fantastic range of wines, champagnes, and expertly crafted cocktails. But the real highlight was the food—the laksa and lobster scrambled eggs were nothing short of spectacular. The laksa had the perfect balance of spice and richness, while the lobster scrambled eggs were indulgent, creamy, and packed with flavor. It felt like a fine-dining experience rather than just airport lounge food. Service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that everything was taken care of without being intrusive. The lounge truly delivers on every front—comfort, amazing food, premium drinks, and world-class service. An absolute must-visit for those flying first class with Singapore Airlines!

Got a chance to fly from Sydney to Jakarta via Garuda Airlines. Food was delicious, flight attendants were helpful and nice, the service was great and the seat was spacious. Arrived in Jakarta on time and I am really happy about that. I will surely recommend people to take this airline and visit Indonesia. I would also recommend people from Southeast Asia to take Jakarta as a transit stop if they want to go to Australia.#favouriteairline
