Sydney Airport Terminals
There are three terminals at Sydney Airport: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3. All terminals have food and beverage outlets and shops. All three terminals offer free Wi-Fi, charging stations, children’s play areas, and disabled access facilities. All terminals have VIP Lounges.
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is used for international flights. There are duty-free shops, restaurants, cafes, and fast-food restaurants on the arrivals and departures floors. T1’s flight gates are divided into different “piers.” There are 13 gates in Pier B of the terminal: 8-10, 24-25, and 30-37. There are 12 gates in Pier C of the terminal: 50-51, 53-61, and 63. Pier C is used by Virgin Australia and Star Alliance members. There are 200 check-in counters in the terminal. There is a Centurion Lounge in the Gate 50-63 area, a SkyTeam Lounge near Gate 24, and a Plaza Premium Lounge near Gates 25-26.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2 is used for domestic flights. T2 is located in the northeast section of the airport. Terminal 2 is used by domestic operators such as Jetstar, Virgin Australia and Rex. The Rex check-in counters are at the top of the escalator. The Virgin Australia lounge is just past security. The Rex lounge is at Gate G2. There is a connection from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3. You can walk to the terminal from the domestic car park.
Terminal 3
Terminal 3 serves domestic flights. T3 serves Qantas and QantasLink flights. Terminal 3 is within walking distance of Terminal 2. Terminal 3 has the Qantas Club Lounge and Qantas Business Lounge, both on the Departures Level opposite Gates 4 and 5.
Getting Between Terminals at Sydney Airport
Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 sit next to each other on the domestic side, and you can walk between them indoors in a few minutes. Terminal 1, the international terminal, is on the other side of the airfield, around 4 km away by road, so you will need transport to cross over.
The quickest link is the Airport Link train. The ride between the International and Domestic stations takes about 2 minutes, and trains run frequently through the day. A standard station access fee applies, the same one you pay on any Airport Link trip.
Sydney Airport also runs a transfer bus for connecting passengers. Eligibility and cost depend on your airline and ticket, so check the airport transfers page or ask at your airline desk before you count on it. A taxi or rideshare between T1 and the domestic terminals takes roughly 10 minutes, longer in peak traffic.
If you have a connecting flight, give yourself extra time. Moving between international and domestic often means collecting bags, clearing customs, and checking in again.
Passenger Pick-up at Sydney Airport
T1 International: drivers can wait free for up to 15 minutes, once per calendar day, in the Public pick-up zone near the terminal. Rideshare cars use a separate zone that only takes e-TAG payments. Arriving passengers follow the green Rideshare signs after leaving the Arrivals Hall.
T2 and T3 Domestic: the Express pick-up zone is a short walk from both terminals and is also free for 15 minutes once a day. The Priority pick-up zone works with e-TAG only and has a height limit of 2.9 m. Follow the green signs and lighting from Arrivals.
For longer waits, use the short-term car parks: P2 and P3 at the domestic terminals and P7 at T1 International.
