The revamped international departure security/customs experience at Tullamarine is so good. Plus it was empty so I barely slowed down (slight exaggeration) but it was completely painless. Stand here, slide passport in there, look at the screen here… done.

Secondary note, duty free used to be cheap… it is no longer cheap. The things I looked at were more expensive than where I’ve seen them at shops. I don’t drink enough these days or want anything to bother with duty free anyway.

Ohh and also, the seat next to me is STILL showing as empty 😎🤞😎🤞😎
