Spot on

Have you been through T1 in Perth lately? The Virgin domestic stuff is very nice indeed but the International section is pretty depressing. You have to carry your bags down 2 flights of stairs from the gate to the aircraft...what other first world country would design something as stupid as that? QF Lounge facilities also very basic. Apart from the obvious issue of connections, it’s no wonder Qantas pushed and will continue to push for T3 expansion.

I have have no doubt Qantas will jump at the chance to move into a new facility on the T1 side but only when it can support their domestic AND international movements. Until then, they should be allowed to do as they please on the other side. PAPL should get over it and move on, and get cracking on the T1 infrastructure (including new runway and taxiways!).
