Dozens of travellers at Melbourne Airport have been warned to expect delays as giant queues are seen snaking across the terminal.
Passengers were confronted with a chaotic scene as they arrived at the airport on Monday morning with lines seen stretching all the way to the international terminal.
Queues also formed at the airport’s service desk after three flights to Sydney were cancelled leaving travellers scrambling to get rebooked.
Similar scenes are unfolding at Sydney Airport where dozens of domestic flights have been cancelled across three airlines.

Twenty-one flights across Qantas, Virgin Australia, Jetstar and REX have been cancelled with some passengers given just a few hours notice.
The chaos comes after the travel plans of thousands of Qantas passengers were thrown into disarray on Sunday after a nationwide computer glitch.
Hundreds of passengers were left on grounded planes on runways across the country after an IT glitch delayed up to a dozen flights.
Qantas said the issue was discovered at about 4:30pm on Sunday and had impacted 12 domestic flights with some grounded for nearly two hours. The glitch was fixed at about 6pm but caused delays throughout the evening.
Furious travellers keen to get home in time for the start of the working week took to social media to vent about the delays.
More to come.
