Sydney Domestic Airport (T3)

Sydney Airport T-Bus 

The T-Bus is Sydney Airport’s complimentary shuttle bus service between the T1 International and T2/T3 Domestic terminals. The service currently operates every 30 minutes and takes approximately 10 minutes. To catch the T-Bus, proceed to the bus stop on the Arrivals level outside each terminal.

The first bus departs T1 International terminal at 7.30am and the last bus departs T2 Domestic terminal at 7.30pm. For transfers outside these hours, we recommend you take one of the alternative public transport options.

Qantas seamless transfer

The Qantas Seamless Transfer service is available between Qantas and Qantas, oneworld or Emirates Flights, subject to capacity restrictions and operational requirements.

For domestic arrivals, transfers to the international terminal (T1) depart from gate 15 approximately every 30 minutes between 7.30am and 9.30pm every day, with a travel time of approximately 15 minutes.

To check if a Qantas Seamless Transfer is available to you, check with customer service staff when you initially check in, or at gate 15 in Sydney. If unavailable, alternative options include the free Sydney Airport T-Bus, paid train services or paid taxi. Ensure you allow enough time to collect your baggage and check in for your onward flight.

Refer to our Sydney International Airport (T1) guide for further details on international arrivals and transferring from an international to a domestic flight.

Walking is the best way to get between the two terminals and takes approximately 7 minutes. Simply follow the pedestrian walkways and directional signs through the car park or through the airport train tunnel link.

Ensure you check in for your flight before you arrive at the airport. Check-in for domestic flights opens 24 hours before departure and closes 30 minutes before departure. 

There are four easy options to complete check-in:  ​

• Online via qantas.com

Customers who require special assistance, unaccompanied minors or large groups, please make yourself known to our friendly customer service agents on Level 1 who will be able to assist you with the check-in process.

Our domestic airports are cashless. Purchase tickets, additional baggage and other Qantas flight related products online. Excess baggage payments can be made by credit card at our self-serve bag tag kiosks.

Don’t forget, if you’re travelling with checked bags, you need to drop them off at least 30 minutes before departure for domestic flights. Use your digital boarding pass at our self-serve bag tag kiosks on Level 1 to print your baggage tags before proceeding to the self-serve bag drop.
