This New South Wales capital never fails to captivate people around the world. It is also known to have the busiest airport on the Australian continent. Sydney Airport is committed to its mission to provide award-winning services and excellent facilities in the transportation industry, both domestically and internationally.
Terminals T2 and T3 carry domestic services while flights from Sydney to London are operated via terminal 1. Over 44 international destinations are accommodated via this terminal.

Directions to Sydney airport
Sydney Airport is located 8 km from the city centre. There are a number of ways to easily get to the airport from any part of the city. Aside from the usual taxis and car rental services, there is the Airport Link Train that provides a fast ride from the city. It stops at the northern end of the terminal near the arrival area. Catch the Sydney Buses Route 400 if you are coming anywhere from Bondi Junction and Burwood. It drives to both terminal 1 and terminal 3 for domestic passengers. For those with private cars, drop off areas are located at the departure levels of each terminal.
Reaching London
This great capital is filled with incredible attractions that a carefully planned itinerary will help you see as a London first-timer. To experience the whole of London's treasures, get a ride on the London Eye and enjoy the exhilarating view of its skyline. If you prefer to be on ground, free trips at the Natural History Museum, British Museum and National Gallery will definitely leave you oozing with inspiration. A London trip will not be complete without visiting the enchanting world of The Making of Harry Potter in Warner Bros. Studio Tour, or the glitz and glamour of Madame Tussauds wax museum.
Getting to the city center
Nestled just 15 miles west of central London, Heathrow Airport provides affordable and luxurious choices for passengers to go around the city. Trains like the Heathrow Express (bound to London Paddington), the Underground Piccadilly Line (bound to the capital) or Heathrow Connect (bound to West London) are the fastest options for transit.
If you have other places in mind, consider taking the National Express Buses that operate in 500 locations across Britain. Other car options are taxis parked outside the Heathrow terminals, private-hire minicabs and Heathrow's chauffeur service, ready to drive you to your destination.
