Departing from Sydney Airport

Getting to Sydney Airport

On a tight schedule? The fastest way to get from Sydney to the airport is with the train. Grab a seat on the T8 Airport Line; it leaves every 10 minutes from the CBD between 5:00 a.m. and midnight. The train only takes only 13 minutes to reach the departure terminals, giving you more than enough time to check-in and make your way through security.

Another affordable option is to take the Route 400 bus. A single trip only costs AUD 5.60 one way and stops at the T1 International and T3 Domestic terminals.

You can also take a taxi to the airport or request a ride with Uber. Travel time is usually only 20-minutes from the city centre if there isn't a traffic jam and fares cost around AUD 45-55.

Parking Options at Sydney Airport

If you're planning a short weekend city break to Perth, park in either P1 or P2. The spaces are only a short walk to the Domestic Terminals, and you can even book your spot online.

For passengers travelling to Perth for longer than a few days, the P3 option offers the most value. It has a daily discounted rate and is 8-minutes from the domestic T2 and T3 terminals.

If you're on a tight budget, leave your car at the Blue Emu. It's located on Ross Smith Avenue and is a 15-minute bus ride from the domestic terminals. However, there is a free 24-hour shuttle, so you don't need to pay extra for a cab.
