Departing from Perth

Getting to Perth Airport

Take the public bus. It's the cheapest way to get from Perth's CBD to the airport. The service runs every day and stops at each of Perth's four departure terminals.

Hail a taxi or use a ride-sharing service like Uber. A trip from the city usually costs AUD 42-52, and it's a good idea to factor in extra buffer time to avoid missing your flight due to a traffic jam.

Parking at Perth Airport

There are three parking options available at Perth Airport:

• Short Term: Only use this option if you're going to Launceston for the day. It offers the best hourly hours, but it becomes expensive to leave your car here if you're going away for a more extended period.
• Long Term: While this lot is further away from the terminal building, it has the most affordable prices. Daily rates start at AUD 10, and you can use the airport's free shuttle bus to get to and from your car.
• Fast Track: For absolute convenience at Perth Airport, use this parking lot. It has 230 exclusive bays that are within a one-minute walking distance of the check-in counters.
