[edit] Terminals and destinations
Kingsford Smith International Airport has three main terminals, referred to as T1 (or, to most locals, the "International Terminal"), T2 (the former "Ansett Domestic Terminal"), and T3 (the "Qantas Domestic Terminal"). The international terminal is separated from the other terminals by a runway which results in the need to allow for more time for passenger connections.
The top long-haul destinations from Sydney are London-Heathrow, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai, Los Angeles, San Francisco Shanghai and Tokyo.
