Anyone had any recent experience at Perth Airport and can comment on how well it's currently operating? My sister is flying in from the UK tomorrow (via Singapore - arriving at T3) and I'm not sure how long I should allow for baggage collection etc when picking her up...
Have read some accounts of Oz airports being a bit understaffed and chaotic recently but I don't know how much of that is truth vs hyperbole.
Picked up international arrivals recently with plenty of checked baggage.
It runs okay, if a bit slower than before. Whether it's because of understaffing or testing requirements, who knows, but it's probably fine to do the same as usual with perhaps an additional 15 minutes. Airports are also getting better with allowing you to wait outside the airport complex and driving in to pick them up from the bays if that's your thing (ie not paying the extortionate parking fees in return for your relatives greeting you at the car instead of the gate).
