Our tips for seamless Sydney Airport travel
Road access to the airport is changing; the airport precinct may be busier than usual as drivers adapt. The airport may also continue to experience delays during peak travel periods. Public transport could be your best option for heading to the airport precinct.
Before you leave home:
- Consider leaving earlier or avoiding traffic stress by catching the train or bus where possible. T8 Airport & South Line services run frequently to and from the domestic and international terminals, with services every day between 5am and midnight.
- Check the Sydney Airport website for the latest updates on your flight status, parking availability, and potential delays in the airport precinct.
- Plan your public transport trip ahead of time at transportnsw.info.
- If driving, please allow extra time, use driver navigation apps to assist you on your journey, and pay attention to new signs along the way.

Travelling for business from the northwest to or from the airport?
The new Sydney Metro City line is now open, providing fast and frequent connections from Macquarie Park and North Sydney to Central Station in the CBD where you can transfer to T8 Airport and South Line train services to the airport.
For northwest and North Sydney business travellers, integrating metro intro your trip to Sydney Airport could mean a smoother and more cost-effective trip.
- No need to hop off at Chatswood, simply stay on board and travel through to Central for connecting T8 Airport & South Line train services to the airport.
- New Sydney Metro stations at Crows Nest and Victoria Cross mean more people can take advantage of metro services.
- Northwest and North Sydney drivers who would typically travel on the Warringah Freeway on their way to the airport could have the option of leaving the car at home and catching metro services.
