Hi ozb mates,
I will be heading overseas tomorrow deparing from BNE international airport, this is my first time trying to claim TRS, total purchases are less than $1000, and the items will be carried on the plane.
A few noob questions:
1. will using the TRS app speed up the process? (I have read that in some airports, there are no separate queues, not sure of the case in BNE)
If I have put in all information in the app, do I still need to bring the invoices?
I have also read that we can simply fill in a form and drop it off instead of queuing up, is it still available at BNE? Is there anywhere I could download the form and pre-fill at home?
If the only option is queuing up, when should I (or would you) get to the airport? Let's say the flight is at noon on 24 Dec.
Any other tips would be great. Thank you and wish you all a Merry Xmas & happy NY.
Cheers,

Using the app and printing or storing the QR code doesn't hurt, you can opt to use or not use the QR code queue. If there is only one queue then having the QR code allows them to access your claim faster.
Yes, you still need to show the invoice and the goods, the QR code just uses your prefilled details.
Haven't used the drop off option before.
Don't know what the queue is line in BNE.
