Gate 47 - Terminal 2 - Sydney

[Oliver Gigacz]

I was wondering where is Gate 47 at Sydney Airport. I have looked on there website and on their terminal maps there is no Gate 47.

I am curious because my flights to Sydney on Tuesday are scheduled to arrive and depart from this gate.

[Tim Bowrey]

Oliver who are you flying with? Is it Rex, QantasLink or Aeropelican? Not gate 42 is it? Because im pretty sure Gate 47 is over on the Jetstar side.

[Oliver Gigacz]

Virgin Blue - DJ855 and DJ886. Here is the screenshot from the Sydney Airport site

Im pretty sure its over on the JQ side but does it really matter Oliver? As long as you get to T2 you should be right regardless of gate, right? ;)

There isn't an aircraft gate 47 at Sydney as such, but the Bay 42 that Tim refers to is the 'arrival' gate for bussing ops, and gate 45 and 47 are the 'departure' gates located in the same area. There's also a new bussing gate located at the end of the eastern T2 finger next to Bay 39/40, so perhaps that's where Gate 47 is?

Make sense? Sorry if it doesn't, but that's how it was explained to me and I don't spend time in the terminal to describe it otherwise.

EDIT: I should point out that Bays F4 and F5 on the eastern side of Dom-3 are now available for B737/E170/E190/A320 ops, so going from Gate 47 tells me you'll be bussed to your aircraft.

G47 is the Rex/Aeropelican bus bay - stairs down to the ground level are just west of the food court.

EDIT: Just read Nigel's post properly (for once).

Looks like that happened while I was on leave! I really should pay attention more.

[Nigel C]

You too, eh? I'm on my first shift back from leave now and that change happened while I was gone too. The things they do when you're not looking....

[Oliver Gigacz]

So where in the terminal should I go?

[Jayden Laing]

Oliver, I recommend the check in desk & when you are issued with your boarding pass, query it then. The people at the Virgin Blue desk would be able to point you in the right direction

[Nigel C]

Don't be too concerned...I'm sure the terminal has plenty of signage for it.

[Lukas M]

There is no G47. Website error, check the site closer to the date.

[Chris B.]

Lukas I beg to differ. As Adam and Nigel have both previously mentioned that it does exist, I can also prove that.

Oliver if you're that concerned why not go to the terminal to check it out before your day to fly (you get to go to the airport twice! :) ). Gate 47 is situated next to McDonalds. There is a book store opposite the lounge.

An escalator that goes downstairs takes you to the departures area, as soon as you get off the escalator turn right, and that is where the bus will take you to the aircraft.

The Sydney Airport Website shows Gate 47 on their T2 Gates PDF file. Click here (http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/SACL/Terminal-Maps.html), click on the "T2 Gates" PDF link and zoom in to about 200% and you will see it clearly printed to the right of the food court just before the walkway to the JQ gates.

Hope this helps.

My son was flying Virgin back to Melbourne this afternoon, and we walked past Gate 45 & 47 on the way to and from the Qantas Club, they are just on the Jetstar side of the food court, and Gate 47 has an Aeropelican sign up.
