You can find T2 at Sydney Airport open from 4 a.m. - 11 p.m. every day.
The following airlines service Sydney’s domestic terminal, T2: Virgin Australia, Jetstar, Tiger, Fly Pelican, and Regional Express (REX). Please be advised that Qantas and QantasLink domestic flights operate out of T3, not T2.
You can find the check-in desks for the airlines operating out of this terminal on the ‘Departures’ level. Be sure to check with your airline as to how early their check-in desks open for bag drop and to receive your boarding passes.
Located on L3, the Virgin Australia lounge is open from 5:00 a.m. - 9 p.m. every day. To access the lounge, passengers must go through security and proceed to where the lounge is located, right outside the main security checkpoint within Sydney Airport Terminal 2. The lounge is open 60 minutes before the first Virgin Australia flight until the airline's last flight call.
Located on L2, REX lounge is open from 5:30 a.m. - 7 p.m. every day. Passengers must go through security before entering the lounge, which is located next to the G2 departure lounge.
To transfer between Sydney Airport Terminal 2 and any other terminal, passengers can take the complimentary shuttle bus known as T-Bus located at the Arrivals level outside each terminal. The shuttle drops passengers off at each terminal, including international terminal T1. The ride itself will take approximately 10 minutes and runs every 15 minutes between 5:30 and 21:30.
Travellers can also take the Airportlink between 5 a.m. - midnight, every day. While the Airportlink does cost $6.40 per person each way, it is only a 2-minute journey between terminals. You can find Airportlink underground, beneath each terminal. From the arrival hall, follow the train signs and take the lift or escalator to the station. You may purchase your ticket at a kiosk. Please note that Airportlink also connects travellers from the airport to city stations in Sydney.
Some airlines, like Qantas, have seamless transfer services available to travellers, however, they do not operate out of T2 at Sydney Airport.

For those who booked their trip (and tickets) under one booking, generally, you will be checked in throughout all flights and your luggage will meet you at your final destination.

If you booked your tickets under different airlines and through separate bookings, you will likely need to collect and re-check your baggage at every destination until your final stop.
Expect to wait around 30 - 45 minutes to get through customs at Sydney Airport. If you have items to declare, it will take upwards of an hour.
