The Sydney Airport was the originating departure location of Flight 815. Several flashback scenes feature the airport as the survivors-to-be (including featured cast and even some extras) converge to their shared fate.

Episodes[]

Flashback scenes taking place at Sydney Airport:

  • "White Rabbit": Jack argued with the ticket agent Chrissy about his father's remains.

Other scenes at Sydney Airport that are not flashbacks:

  • "Further Instructions" : During a drug-induced vision, Boone carted Locke around the airport telling him that somebody was in danger. All the main characters during that time except Juliet (who Locke hadn't met) were seen, with Hurley working as a ticket agent, Desmond as a pilot, and Ben as a security guard.

Trivia[]

  • The Hawaii Convention Center, whose glass architecture and long escalators have a striking similarity to an airport, serves as the real world filming location used to depict the Sydney Airport.
  • The real Sydney airport looks nothing like the Sydney Airport shown in the show. Several minor mistakes are made throughout the series as well. For example, in "Exodus, Part 2" while Hurley is running for his flight, he sees a that sign says "Gates 23 thru 40." The "thru" term is seldom used in Australia, and never at airports. The sign should say "Gates 23-40." Furthermore, in one scene in "Exodus, Part 2", Hurley can be seen passing by a door with the word "Kamehameha" above it (the Hawaii Convention Center exhibit hall sign in the real world), thereby giving it away as a place on Hawaii.
