Huge lines are snaking out of the Virgin Australia terminal at Sydney Airport as hordes of travellers head home from holidays.
The queues went all the way out of the terminal onto the footpath outside, becoming so long the airline has been forced to call out flights urgently requiring check-in. However, disgruntled passengers say forcing people to the front of the line has only caused more chaos.
Aurelie Pankowiak, a PhD student at Victoria University in Melbourne, tweeted two photos with the caption: "Opportunity to experience the world [sic] longest check-in line."
Other awaiting passengers took to Twiiter to vent out thre frustrations.
