Went to Sydney over the Easter holiday to visit Darlink's sis and also to see the Sydney Royal Easter show. First time we were going by a budget airline and it was quite a different experience from regular air travel.
The airport at Avalon was sort of made up of 2 "sheds" - one for arrival and one for departure. You could even see the guys standing behind the curtains to get your check-in baggage. Nothing much to see or do while waiting for the plane except for a retro arcade game machine, a foosball table and a pinball machine and watching the ground crew guide the planes manually (by waving batons) when they come in to drop passengers. To board the plane, we walked on the tarmac and climbed up metal stairs into the plane like we see presidents do (hehehe! except there was no red carpet) and you could sit anywhere you liked in the plane since they do not allocate the seats. All in all, everything still went pretty smoothly without the usual frills :)
