Western Sydney International takes passengers. From the moment it does, arrivals into Welby (the working edge of Mittagong, between the motorway and the railway line) are met the same way as everything else we drive: one fare, one vehicle, your name at the door.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets arriving passengers at Western Sydney International and drives them home to Welby (NSW 2575) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. There is one terminal, so the driver meets you at the single terminal's pickup point and messages you once you land, and it is 74 km from the terminal to the Welby shops on Old Hume Highway, about 1 hr 7 min — 32 km shorter than the run home from Kingsford Smith, on a route with no tolls. The fare is $245 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $355 for eleven in one vehicle; the Sydney Airport fare from here is $275. We track the flight number, so a delay moves the pickup at no charge — a full hour of free waiting after an international landing and forty minutes after a domestic one. Nothing is payable in advance. Book it with the outbound leg and the whole trip is settled. Quote on 0427 143 612.
Fixed fare each way; pickups add $10
$275 for a couple, rising in fixed steps with the vehicle. Landing at Badgerys Creek instead of Mascot changes nothing about the number.

Delayed flights, holidays and a long wait at the belt do not change the price. Nothing is added afterwards. There is no deposit on a Welby arrival — payment happens on the day. Fares reviewed August 2026.
A new airport is exactly when you want a booked car. The rank behaviour, the rideshare supply and the parking layout are all untested. Yours is not.
Waiting when you land
Passengers and bags decide the vehicle at booking, which is why the boot is never the problem when you land.
01
1–2 passengers
Toyota Camry, Lexus or similar
02
3–4 passengers
Kia Carnival or similar
03
5–6 passengers
LDV G10 or similar
04
7–11 passengers
Toyota HiAce or similar
The difference is space, not service. All four come with tolls and GST in the fare, restraints fitted at no cost, flight tracking and payment on the day you travel to Welby.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr 7 min for the 74 km from the terminal to the Welby shops on Old Hume Highway. Off the Hume at Mittagong and immediately into Welby. Quick, direct and with almost no road between the exit and the door.
The same drive home from Kingsford Smith is 106 km and about 1 hr 35 min, so landing at Badgerys Creek saves 32 km — and the route home carries no tolls, which is the part you notice at midnight.
Flying out rather than in? The leave-by times and departure fares are on the Welby to Western Sydney Airport page.
Delays, diversions and late nights
A delayed flight is the normal case, not the exception, so the booking is built around the flight number rather than a clock time. Here is what happens in each situation.
Late is normal on long-haul, so the sheet updates itself from the flight number and the first sixty minutes after touchdown are on us.
A domestic landing gets forty minutes of included waiting, timed from the real arrival.
If the flight is cancelled or you are rebooked, one message moves the transfer. No money has changed hands, so nothing needs refunding.
One flight number sets the pickup, absorbs the delay and tells the driver when to leave for the terminal.
One hall, one meeting point
There is only one terminal at Badgerys Creek, which makes the meet simple: through the doors, your name on a card, and the luggage carried out to the vehicle.
Domestic arrivals get forty minutes rather than sixty, which is comfortably more than a domestic belt usually needs.
From the forecourt it is one uninterrupted run to your street. Between the motorway and the railway, so the approach depends on which side. Tell us and the driver takes the right one first time.
The other airport
Kingsford Smith is 106 km from Welby and Badgerys Creek is 74 km. If your flight lands at the older airport instead, the arrival is met with the same free waiting and the same door drop, at that airport's own published fare.
about 1 hr 35 min · Hume, M5 and the airport tunnel
The return is motorway to very nearly the door. Practical trips rather than leisurely ones, and often one-way legs where somebody is being dropped. Arrivals into Mascot are covered on the Sydney Airport to Welby page.
about 1 hr 7 min · no tolls on our route
Still where the long-haul network is, and where most arrivals into this district land until the new airport's schedule fills out.
$245 from this airport; each airport has its own published fare. The arrival fare does not change with the terminal, the hour or the length of the delay — and there is no station access fee, because we drive you the whole way.
Get Free QuoteGetting home from a new terminal
Badgerys Creek is a new airport with no rail link to this district and no bus service to it. Standing in the hall at midnight is a bad time to discover that, so here are the options in advance.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $245 fixed | ~1 hr 7 min, door to door | a driver already at the terminal, help with the cases, and a fixed published fare |
| Train or metro | Opal fares, and it goes the wrong way | not a realistic option | the airport metro runs north to St Marys, not south toward Welby — you would finish further from home than you started |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 7 min if a car accepts | practical arrivals rather than leisurely ones — work trips, family visits, and a fair number of one-way legs where somebody is being dropped rather than making a round trip |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 7 min plus the car park shuttle | only works if you drove yourself out and left it there — and the car park layout at a brand-new airport is one more thing to work out after a long flight |
Rank behaviour, rideshare supply and parking rates at Western Sydney International will take months to settle. The honest summary for an arrival into Welby: there is no public transport option home from this airport to this district, which is exactly why the booked car is the sensible answer.
Landing as a group
Eleven arriving passengers are met by one vehicle for $355 — about $32 a seat, against three separate cars at whatever the rank charges on the night. Extended families, sports teams and friends landing together all book this way.
Send the flight number, the headcount and the bag count when you book. If the group is split across two flights we can meet the later one and hold the vehicle, or run two pickups — tell us which you would prefer rather than deciding it in the arrivals hall.
The rank, honestly
Rideshare coverage around a brand-new airport takes months to settle. A pre-booked vehicle does not depend on it.
Nobody can tell you what a metered trip of this length will cost until it ends. Our figure was fixed at booking.
The metro serves the airport from St Marys. From there to Welby is still a car, still at whatever the meter says.
Why book the arrival
The trip home is settled while you still have a keyboard and a signal, not while you are queuing with a trolley.
One terminal, one hall, one driver holding your name — a very different arrival from hunting a rank.
Sixty minutes after an international touchdown, forty after a domestic one, with no meter running.
Nothing is charged when you book and no card is held. There is no cancellation fee because there is nothing to refund.
Tell us the children's ages at booking and the restraints are installed before the vehicle leaves.
The last arrival of the night and Christmas morning are both normal shifts for a pre-booked car.

Arrival questions
A fixed $275 one way for one or two passengers, up to $425 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.
P7 Rideshare Pickup Area. Western Sydney International has a single terminal building, so there is one hall and one meeting point — no guessing between terminals and no shuttle between them.
Roughly 1 hr 7 min to cover 74 km. The saving against the 106 km Mascot run is 11 km — and the untolled route is the part you notice at midnight.
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.
Message or call and we move the booking at no cost. Because nothing is charged in advance, there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
No, and no pre-authorisation either. Payment happens at the end of the trip, however you prefer to pay.
Yes. One vehicle, your party only, terminal to door. Between the motorway and the railway, so the approach depends on which side. Tell us and the driver takes the right one first time.
There is rail at the airport, but it heads north to St Marys rather than south toward Welby. There is no bus either. That is the honest position.
Two things you cannot get at a rank: a known price on a 74 km run, and certainty that a car exists at all. Both matter more at an airport in its first year.
One eleven-seat minibus takes the lot for $355, which is well under what three separate cars would cost.
Free, and installed in advance. Tell us the ages at booking — the restraints go in before we drive to the airport, not in the pickup zone with you standing there.
Every night of the year, including the last arrivals. Practical arrivals rather than leisurely ones — work trips, family visits, and a fair number of one-way legs where somebody is being dropped rather than making a round trip.
We are taking arrival bookings now, on the ordinary terms — fixed fare, nothing payable in advance.

Twenty-four to forty-eight hours is comfortable, and further ahead over school holidays and Christmas. For the airport's opening weeks, earlier is better.
