The airport moved closer. Private transfers from Mittagong (the Highlands' northern gateway, where the motorway, the railway and the old highway all converge) to Badgerys Creek, priced before you book and paid on the day you travel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Mittagong (NSW 2575) to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. The airport takes passengers, and it is 72 km from the Main Street shops and the Highlands Marketplace to the terminal, about 1 hr 2 min. That is 32 km shorter than the 104 km run to Kingsford Smith, and our route carries no tolls. The fare is $245 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $355 for eleven in one vehicle — the Sydney Airport run from here is $275. Nothing is payable in advance. One message books it; nothing is charged until the day. Quote on 0427 143 612.
Fixed fare, each airport
$275 one way for a couple, rising only with the number of seats. The airport you are flying from makes no difference to the number.

No holiday surcharge and no card held at booking; pickups before 6am add $20. Tolls and GST are already counted. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day of travel. Fares reviewed August 2026.
Does WSI have its own fare? Yes — $245 for one or two passengers, against $275 to Kingsford Smith, because the price follows the distance from your street and the vehicle you need.
Matched to your group
Passengers and luggage set the vehicle, and we settle that when you book rather than working it out in your driveway.

Every class includes the same things. Tolls and GST are inside the fare, child restraints are fitted before we leave at no cost, arrivals are tracked by flight number, and there is no advance payment — you pay on the day of travel. The only thing that changes between cards is how many people and how much luggage fit.
The western run
Allow about 1 hr 2 min for the 72 km from the Main Street shops and the Highlands Marketplace to the terminal forecourt. Mittagong to WSI is a straight run north on the Hume with an early exit at Picton, well under the eastern distance.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 104 km and about 1 hr 30 min, so Badgerys Creek saves 32 km — and, more usefully, it skips the M5 East and the airport tunnel, which is where the Mascot run loses its time on a bad morning.
Arriving rather than departing? The meeting points and free waiting times are on the Western Sydney Airport to Mittagong page.
Departure timing, worked backwards
Western Sydney International is a shorter drive than Mascot from here, so the alarm goes off later — but the terminal deadline works the same way. Here is how we set the pickup.
These are guides. Give us the flight number when you book and we set the exact time against it, including for the first wave of departures after the airport opens.
One terminal, one kerb
A single terminal is one of the quiet advantages of the new airport: no T1-versus-T3 confusion, no shuttle between buildings, just a forecourt and a door.
Coming back the other way, the driver meets you inside the arrivals area with your name, and the flight is tracked so a delay moves the pickup at no cost.
Going out, we collect you at your own address at a time worked back from the terminal deadline — not a meeting point down the road.
The other airport
Kingsford Smith is 104 km from Mittagong and Badgerys Creek is 72 km. The new airport wins on distance by 32 km and on route quality by rather more than that, but the older one still has the wider network of long-haul destinations. Here are both, honestly.
about 1 hr 30 min · Hume, M5 and the airport tunnel
Where the long-haul network still is today, and where most flights out of this district leave from until the new airport's schedule fills out. Departure fares and leave-by times for Mascot are on the Mittagong to Sydney Airport page.
about 1 hr 2 min · no tolls on our route
Onto the Hume at Mittagong, north to the Picton exit, then The Northern Road. Motorway access from the town centre makes this the Highlands' most reliable WSI departure after Braemar.
$275 to Sydney Airport, $245 to Western Sydney. The fare is set by your suburb and your group size, not by the terminal at the far end — so switching airports after booking does not change the number.
Get Free QuoteThe honest comparison
Badgerys Creek is a new airport with a road network built for it and a rail line that does not reach this district. That changes how the options compare.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $245 fixed | ~1 hr 2 min, door to door | a fare fixed in advance and a car that is on the sheet rather than hoped for |
| Train or metro | Opal fares, plus getting yourself to the line | 2 hrs or more, with changes | the airport metro runs from St Marys, not from Mittagong — you would need to reach it with your luggage first, which is the trip you were trying to avoid |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 2 min if a car accepts | the station's last service is early and the town shuts down by ten |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 2 min plus the car park shuttle | parking at a brand-new airport is untested at this stage, and it still means leaving a car sitting there for the length of the trip |
Fares, parking rates and the metro timetable at Western Sydney International will settle over its first months, so check anything time-sensitive before you rely on it. The honest summary for Mittagong: for a departure from Badgerys Creek there is no realistic public transport option from this district, which is exactly why a fixed-fare car makes sense.
One vehicle, one fare
Eleven passengers and their luggage travel in one minibus for $355 — about $32 a seat, against three separate cars at whatever the apps are charging that morning. Everyone leaves at once and arrives at once.
Give us the headcount and a rough bag count when you book. If the group is flying out on two different flights, say so and we will either run two pickups or hold one vehicle — a much easier decision now than at 4am.
Booked car or app
A metered or surge-priced trip of 72 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $245 the moment you booked.
An app at 4am in this district is a hope, not a plan. A pre-booked driver is on the sheet with your address and your flight number.
Cases carried to the boot and out again at the forecourt, with child restraints already fitted — not an argument about whether the pram fits.
Why pre-book the western run
The number was set by where you live and how many seats you need. The airport at the far end does not enter into it.
Our route to Badgerys Creek avoids the tolled motorways entirely — and the toll saving is already inside your fixed fare anyway.
For most of this district WSI is closer than Kingsford Smith, and that shows up as an extra half hour in bed.
Nothing is taken at booking, so there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
Bookings are open now, at the published fare.
Tell us the children's ages when you book and the right seats are in the vehicle before it leaves.

Questions, answered plainly
Between $275 and $425, decided by how many seats you need. Each destination has its own fare: from Mittagong, Badgerys Creek is $245 and Mascot $275.
You can book a transfer for any date from then, and no deposit is taken.
72 km, normally around 1 hr 2 min. Kingsford Smith is 104 km from here, so the new airport saves 32 km and the tolled section with it.
Closer by 32 km — 72 km versus 104 km. Whether it is the right airport still depends on where your flight goes from, but on distance alone it wins.
Straight to the departures door of the one terminal. Nothing to work out on arrival, and the driver carries the luggage rather than just unlocking the boot.
No. Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held. You pay the driver on the day of travel by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed afterwards if you want one.
From your boarding time, not a round number. Give us the flight number and we set the exact pickup around the 1 hr 2 min drive.
Any hour, including public holidays; set fees apply for pickups before 6am or after 8pm. A 3am start is a normal shift rather than a special request.
Rail serves the airport from St Marys, not from Mittagong. Getting to that line with checked bags is the problem the transfer solves.
One eleven-seat minibus takes the lot for $355. Beyond eleven we run a second vehicle and quote it in advance.
All three types, free, and installed before the vehicle leaves for your address. Give us the ages at booking.
We move the booking free of charge. On the return leg we also track the flight number, so a late arrival shifts the pickup automatically.
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 104 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Mittagong to Sydney Airport page.
The vehicle is chosen from your bag count as much as your headcount, and the driver loads and unloads it. A sedan takes two large cases and two carry-ons; the minibus takes eleven people's worth.
Only your group. We do not combine bookings, so the drive is direct.
Anything from a day ahead usually works, though the holiday periods and the airport's first months fill earlier.
The passenger terminal is the usual drop, but the aerotropolis precinct around it is the same run and the same fare. Give us the exact address when you book.
Woodlands, Renwick, Braemar, Welby and the rest of the district — all 75 suburbs across Wollondilly Shire, Macarthur and the Southern Highlands, each with its own published fare and its own distance to Badgerys Creek.
