Travelling without visa through Sydney Terminal 1 - what if I miss second flight?

Upvote:7

In case you miss the connection in SYD through no fault of your own, Qantas (I assume it's Qantas based on your itinerary) will rebook you on the next available itinerary to get you to Manila, but that is not required to be a nonstop flight. For instance the rebooked flight may be SYD-SIN-MNL or SYD-HKG-MNL or any number of other itineraries, each of which depart after the one daily nonstop SYD-MNL flight but still on the same day and within the eight hour window.

SYD airport does close overnight, as most passenger flights are not allowed after 23:00 due to noise reasons. If it does become necessary for you to remain in Sydney overnight because of being unable to book you on an earlier itinerary, the airline will explain the situation to the Border Force, who will then usually admit you under Border (subclass 773) so that you can leave the airport and stay in a hotel overnight.
