The run from Diamond Creek
From Diamond Creek the terminal is about 35 kilometres east, which is roughly 32 min behind the wheel once you are moving.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $95 you see when you book is the $95 you pay. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
For a 6am flight the pickup lands around 3:13am, working back from two hours at the terminal plus the drive. Later departures are easier again, and we set the time from your flight rather than asking you to guess it.
Coming the other way we track the inbound flight and meet you when the aircraft actually lands, so a delay is the airline's problem rather than yours. The distance shown here is measured from the centre of the suburb, so your exact fare is confirmed against your pickup address when you book.
