Sing Yew 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 Can't be anywhere as bad as Adelaide's International Terminal. It is in every sense of the word like the size of a Cow Shed. Small. It takes you ages to claim your luggage, ages more to clear through quarantine not to mention ages to check in as well. And when you have more than one flight arriving at the same time, the situation will be worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
