Default How long to get through customs

Hi there I know this is probably a 'how long is a piece of string' questions but can anyone tell me how long it takes to get through customs (or if you have to) on a domestic flight. We have some friends flying into Adelaide from Perth tonight and their flight is delayed by an hour and I am just wondering what time to get to the airport as they dont land until 10.30pm and have to let babysitter know!

Thanks Lindsey

are they bringing their passports for this flight..

seriously though.. 30 mins is the max it should take them to go from gate to door.

I would budget 20 mins as the standard time to get out of the building on a domestic flight.

You don't go through customs on an internal flight. Australia is all one country.

About 2 minutes to walk from the plane to airport door.
