At Terminal 3, the security process may require some patience. Expect a slow-moving queue, with recent experiences reporting around 20 minutes spent from start to finish, even when the line is not particularly long. Staff interactions may vary, with some travellers noting a less-than-friendly demeanor. Be prepared for potential delays, especially if your bag is flagged for additional screening, as there are often limited lines open to handle the volume.

Not great, pretty slow and grumpy staff too.
Queue was not long but it still took us over 20 minutes from end to end.

Slow, single queue. Pray your bag doesn’t get rejected as you’ll have a wait.
Lots of lines not open and not a speedy process at all.
