Pretty well handled by the staff
Yep, I was on the QF775 MEL/PER at 6:10am Friday morning. Given the terminal was closed until about 5:30am, the security checkpoint queues were rather sizeable. Was virtually impossible to get breakfast anywhere because retailers / food vendors couldn't get in earlier to set up for the day. Not even a lazy Krispy Kreme could be had!
Kudos to the various staff in the terminal and to QF who despite the obvious setbacks still managed to get flights away on time and kept a good humour about it (particularly the security screeners). QF offered apologies and refreshments at gate 21 if anyone was headed that way.
Stayed at the Parkroyal at the airport on Thursday night too and heard the sirens just before 3am. Couldn't quite see the action through as I had a room facing the multi-storey carpark.
