What does the run from Badgerys Creek to Alpine cost?
A fixed $225 one way for one or two passengers, up to $335 for eleven in one vehicle. It is your suburb's published Western Sydney fare plus the $10 airport pickup fee; Mascot has its own fare.
What is the meeting point at Badgerys Creek?
Past the arrivals doors, by name. The single-building layout makes this the simplest meet of any Sydney airport.
What is the drive time from Badgerys Creek to Alpine?
About 57 min for the 66 km, on a route that carries no tolls. From Mascot the same trip is 98 km, so landing at Badgerys Creek saves you 12 km of driving at the end of a flight.
My flight is running late — does that cost extra?
Nothing, on your side. We track the flight number, so the pickup moves with the aircraft. An hour of waiting from touchdown is included on an international arrival and forty minutes on a domestic one, measured from when you actually land.
What if my flight is cancelled or diverted?
One message rebooks it. No money has changed hands and no card is held, so a cancellation costs you nothing.
Do I have to pay before I fly?
No, and no pre-authorisation either. Payment happens at the end of the trip, however you prefer to pay.
Do you drop right at the address?
Yes, the address you give us is where the trip ends. Property names on gates rather than numbers on posts. Give us both and the driver will confirm before turning in.
Could I get from Badgerys Creek on public transport?
The metro runs between St Marys and the terminal. It does not come anywhere near Alpine, so the last leg still needs a car, which is the trip you were trying to avoid.
Is it worth pre-booking at a brand-new airport?
At a brand-new airport, more than usually. Nobody knows yet how the rank will behave when several flights land together, and a 66 km fare out to this district is one plenty of drivers would rather not take. A booked car is already waiting and already priced.
Do you have something big enough for eleven arriving passengers?
One eleven-seat minibus takes the lot for $335, which is well under what three separate cars would cost.
Are child seats available on arrival transfers?
Yes, at no cost. Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters are fitted before the vehicle leaves for the terminal, so we need the children's ages when you book rather than when you land.
Is there a night service from the new airport?
Yes — the late bank of arrivals is routine work here. Alpine is a handful of properties rather than a village, and nothing serves it.
Can I book an arrival transfer yet?
Bookings from that date are already open at the published fare.
Do you also meet flights at Sydney Airport?
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 98 km from here — meeting points, terminal by terminal, and the free waiting times are on the Sydney Airport to Alpine page.
How far ahead should I book the arrival?
A day or two outside the busy periods; more over January and the school breaks. Most people book it alongside the outbound trip.
Which suburbs nearby do you also meet flights for?
Colo Vale, Hill Top, Aylmerton, Yerrinbool and the rest of the district — all 75 suburbs across Wollondilly Shire, Macarthur and the Southern Highlands, each with its own published arrival fare.
