Important information about Sydney SYD Airport

The airport's terminals are very crowded, especially during the mornings and evenings peak hours, which affects both arriving passengers by plane and passengers travelling by car to the airport. Especially during the morning rush hour you will have enough time for your journey. Because the airport is located in the middle of the city centre and next to residential areas, there is a night landing ban from 23 - 5:30 o' clock. The two terminals T2 and T3 for domestic flights therefore close after 11 pm. The international terminal T1 also closes at 11 pm and will not open until 4 am tomorrow. There is a small transit area in level 1 near the entrance to the station. However, this area offers only a few seats and fills up very quickly with passengers when the airport closes. The last train leaves the airport at 23:45 for Sydney. Alternatively, you can stay in a hotel directly at Terminal 1, in other hotels in the vicinity of the airport or use the lounges of the various airlines, which can be used for business and first class or for a fee.
