Here's everything you need to know about flying from Adelaide to Cairns without a hitch.
Departing from Adelaide Airport
Adelaide Airport is the fifth busiest in Australia. It only has one terminal, and the check-in counters for flights departing to Cairns are found on Level 2.
The terminal building also has free and unlimited WiFi for its passengers, restaurants, shops and airline lounges.
Getting to Adelaide Airport
The most affordable way to get from Adelaide's CBD to the airport is with the bus. Hop on board daily services with either JetExpress or JetBus.
If you're staying at select hotels in the city, you can book a transfer to the airport. The door-to-door shuttle service runs every day and costs only AUD 10.
Metered taxis and ridesharing services cost around AUD 13-17. Trips to the airport take 20 minutes if there is no traffic, but it's always good to factor in some buffer time to avoid running late.
Parking at Adelaide Airport
Adelaide Airport offers two different parking options for travellers:
- Terminal Car Park: If you're only going to Cairns for the weekend, leave your car here. It has the best prices for short stays, and the car park is close to the terminal building.
- Long Term Car Park: If you're staying a week or more in Cairns, park your car here. It offers more competitive rates and is only a 10-minute walk to the check-in counters.

The metered taxi ranks are located in front of the terminal building. If you prefer using ridesharing services, go to the pickup area located on the T2 Domestic zone.
