Airport Information & Terminals
SYD: Sydney Airport. Sydney airport is comparatively close to the city. Airport train is practical for the CBD; taxis and app rides are better for Bondi, eastern suburbs, family luggage or late arrivals.
DRW: Darwin airport. Darwin airport transfer should be matched to the exact hotel, suburb or meeting area. Rail can work well for light luggage, but late arrivals, winter weather and family baggage often make a direct cab or booked transfer easier.
