Nattai to Western Sydney Airport, door to terminal. Nattai is the bushland locality on the Nattai River, at the edge of the wilderness area that shares its name, and from here the new airport is the shorter drive: one agreed fare, one vehicle, nobody else in it.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Nattai (NSW 2570) to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. The airport takes passengers, and it is 113 km from the Nattai Road turnoff near Mittagong to the terminal, about 3 hr 4 min. That is 12 km shorter than the 125 km run to Kingsford Smith, and our route carries no tolls. The fare is $219 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $319 for eleven in one vehicle — the Sydney Airport run from here is $279. Nothing is payable in advance. Send the flight number and we set the pickup around it. Quote on 0427 143 612.

That price is final. It covers tolls and GST, one suitcase and one carry-on per passenger and any child restraints, and it is paid to the driver on the day rather than at booking. 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 — $219 for one or two passengers, against $279 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 3 hr 4 min for the 113 km from the Nattai Road turnoff near Mittagong to the terminal forecourt. Nattai to WSI runs out via Mittagong and exits the Hume at Picton, coming in a good deal shorter than the trip east.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 125 km and about 3 hr 18 min, so Badgerys Creek saves 12 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 Nattai 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 125 km from Nattai and Badgerys Creek is 113 km. The new airport wins on distance by 12 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 3 hr 18 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 Nattai to Sydney Airport page.
about 3 hr 4 min · no tolls on our route
East to Mittagong, onto the Hume, off at Picton and up The Northern Road. The unsealed and narrow sections at the start are the whole constraint; the rest is ordinary running.
$279 to Sydney Airport, $219 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) | $219 fixed | ~3 hr 4 min, door to door | a published price, your own vehicle, and a driver who is already rostered for the morning |
| 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 Nattai — 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 | ~3 hr 4 min if a car accepts | wilderness-edge country in the dark, with no lighting, no traffic and a surface that changes with the weather |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~3 hr 4 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 Nattai: 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 $319 — about $29 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 113 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $219 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 $219 and $319, decided by how many seats you need. Each destination has its own fare: from Nattai, Badgerys Creek is $219 and Mascot $279.
You can book a transfer for any date from then, and no deposit is taken.
Roughly 3 hr 4 min to cover 113 km. The saving against the 125 km Mascot run is 12 km, and more importantly it is a run that does not go through the tunnel.
It is: 113 km rather than 125 km. The distance saving is 12 km and the drive skips the M5 East, which is the part of the Mascot run most likely to cost you twenty minutes.
One terminal, one kerb. We pull into the departures forecourt, unload the cases and you walk in. The single-building layout is one of the quiet advantages of the new airport.
Nothing up front and no pre-authorisation. The fare is settled at the terminal on the day, however you prefer to pay.
From your boarding time, not a round number. Give us the flight number and we set the exact pickup around the 3 hr 4 min drive.
Yes — the first departures and the last arrivals are ordinary work here, with set fees for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.
Not usefully from Nattai. A metro line is being built to serve the airport, but it runs between St Marys and the terminal rather than out to this district, so you would still need to get yourself across to it with your luggage.
Eleven is the maximum in a single vehicle, at $319 for the group. That is almost always less than two or three separate cars, and it keeps everyone together.
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 125 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Nattai to Sydney Airport page.
Luggage decides the vehicle, not the passenger count. Bulky items such as golf clubs, skis, surfboards and bikes are $10 each; tell us at booking.
Private, always. One vehicle carries your party and nobody else, and it drives from your address to the terminal without another pickup on the way.
Anything from a day ahead usually works, though the holiday periods and the airport's first months fill earlier.
Terminal or precinct — both are covered by your suburb's published fare.
