Sydney Airport (Kingsford Smith) is Australia’s busiest international gateway. After your flight lands, allow 30–60 minutes for baggage and customs (international) or 15–30 minutes (domestic) before your driver collects you. Our driver waits free of charge during this time. For departures from Orange, allow at least 205 minutes drive time plus a buffer — so for a 9am flight, plan a pickup around 5am.
