The expected rush at the country's busiest airports has passed after fears of Easter holiday chaos but continued staff shortages meant some travellers touched down at destinations without their bags.
At Sydney Airport travellers were urged to arrive two hours early on Good Friday, but queues remained under control, and wait times to pass check in and security peaked at about 45 minutes.
Both Qantas and Sydney Airport have called more than 300 members of their corporate employees to assist with ongoing shortages in the terminals.
