What does the run from Oakdale to Badgerys Creek cost?
A fixed $179 one way for one or two passengers, up to $269 for eleven in one vehicle. It is your suburb's published Western Sydney fare, $179; Kingsford Smith is $239.
Is Western Sydney International open for flights?
We are taking bookings for departures from that date now, on exactly the same terms as every other run — fixed fare, nothing payable in advance.
What is the drive time from Oakdale to Western Sydney Airport?
About 50 min for the 48 km. That is 30 km shorter than the run to Kingsford Smith, and the route avoids the M5 East and the airport tunnel entirely.
Is Western Sydney Airport closer than Sydney Airport?
Closer by 30 km — 48 km versus 78 km. Whether it is the right airport still depends on where your flight goes from, but on distance alone it wins.
Where does the driver set us down at the new airport?
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.
Is a deposit needed to book?
Nothing up front and no pre-authorisation. The fare is settled at the terminal on the day, however you prefer to pay.
How do you work out the pickup time?
From your boarding time, not a round number. Give us the flight number and we set the exact pickup around the 50 min drive.
Is there a night service to the new airport?
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.
Could I get to Badgerys Creek by train or bus instead?
There is a metro planned for the airport itself, but it does not come anywhere near Oakdale — reaching it means a drive or several changes before you even start, which is usually the trip you were trying to avoid.
Can eleven of us travel in one vehicle?
Eleven is the maximum in a single vehicle, at $269 for the group. That is almost always less than two or three separate cars, and it keeps everyone together.
Is there a charge for child restraints?
Yes and no charge. The ages matter at booking so the right restraints are already in the car.
What happens if the airline moves my flight?
One message reschedules it. No money has changed hands, so a change costs you nothing.
Can you take us to Mascot as well?
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 78 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Oakdale to Sydney Airport page.
How much luggage fits?
All of it, within the class you book. Tell us about skis, clubs, a pram or a wheelchair when you book and we send something with the room rather than discovering the problem in your driveway.
Do you pick up other passengers on the way?
Only your group. We do not combine bookings, so the drive is direct.
How far ahead should I book?
A day or two outside the peak weeks; more for a minibus or for January. Booking the return leg at the same time saves thinking about it twice.
Can you drop somewhere else at Badgerys Creek?
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.
Which suburbs nearby do you also drive to Western Sydney Airport?
Belimbla Park, Mowbray Park, The Oaks, Lakesland 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.
