And yeah, there are a couple of noticeably lower ceilings in there. But, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that tests have shown people become much more agitated in crowded places with regular (is it 8' / 2400mm?) ceilings. I can't imagine that scenario would make me feel at ease.

I cannot reconcile the number of Australian frequent flyers who love to talk about how MEL is so much better than SYD with the ceilings of MEL T1.

Yes, yes, I know, it's all about how you don't need to catch a bus to get from T1 to T2... but I'll always dislike MEL T1 more than dealing with SYD.
