Sydney International Airport has been in chaos as the reduced staff numbers are unable to handle the number of Aussies hoping to get away during the Easter holidays, with the queues for check-in and security ending outside.

For many Aussies, it would be the first time they have flown since the borders opened after almost two years of closures.
