I dropped girlfriend at Sydney Int. airport (as in gave her a lift, not dumped her) two Saturdays ago around 8am and it was chaos on the surrounding roads. Bexley tunnel banked up before it started, with the LED display saying airport congestion, then Marsh Street was a parking lot. Then as I left the airport to go city bound, I saw Airport Drive bumper to bumper for miles.
A friend said he had the same experience about a month ago, so I'm scared it wasn't a rare occurrence when I went last, as I'm picking her up on Friday, same time, and then her parents 3 hours later. Help… any tips? I feel a bit slack telling her parents to take the train out of the war zone as they drove across a country once to pick us up from the airport.
I'm thinking I park at Wolli Creek, walk over and we catch the taxi back to the car, as the traffic only seemed last time to be going to the airport, not leaving it.
