Passengers complain about the long queues and technological problems that prevent them from registering when the school holidays begin.
Transport chaos has continued with problems at Sydney airport which are expected to extend into the night.
When the school holidays in the state began, it looked like the airport was plagued with technical problems.
The Daily Telegraph reported strange scenes and massive queues Friday night.
“I have not been able to check in at the kiosks, the application is low, the baggage check-in is low and there are massive queues for customer service,” one passenger said.
Another wrote on Twitter: “It looks like (Qantas) has just had a major system outage and the luggage check-in system is frozen. I suspect we could make a long check-in.”
Sydney Airport predicted that 2.1 million passengers will pass through its terminals between June 27 and July 17.
Long check-in times and delays at security points have been attributed to staff shortages.
Qantas and Jetstar expect more than 350,000 customers this weekend alone.
“The two airlines carried a similar number of customers across the country last weekend for the start of the school holidays in Victoria and Queensland, with work done over the past two months to improve the customer experience by ensuring that things work out with relative normalcy, ”Qantas said in a statement.
“The two airlines have put in place measures to improve their operations and have partnered with airports and suppliers to ensure that customer disruptions are minimized during the holiday period.”
As Victoria neared the end of her first week of school holidays, the chaos at Melbourne airport continued on Friday.
Staff told 9 News that it had been “wild all week” and was “on the verge of getting worse.”
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce recently suggested that his business would seek to incorporate more staff, with issues such as luggage loss leaving travelers unhappy.
“We’re adjusting our schedule and providing additional resources like we did to call centers to get the service levels back where we want them to be,” Joyce said.
The chaos at Sydney Airport on Friday night ended a shocking day for travelers.
