4 Tips for a stress-free departure from Sydney Airport

Flight booked? Check. Accommodation sorted? Check. Activities all planned out? Check. So, you’ve got these main things ticked off but what about all those other things that add up that can affect your ability to have a stress-free airport experience? So, we’ve listed below our top 4 tips you should consider for a stress-free departure from Sydney Airport.

Ensure you have all the required travel documents

 

There’s nothing worse than turning up to the airport check in counter only to realise you’ve left behind an important document. Don’t walk out the door without double checking your passport and any travel tickets or boarding passes are in your bag. Don’t forget to check your passport to ensure its valid for six months or more as some countries will not allow you to enter with a passport with an expiry date within six months.

Early flight? Stay the night!

 

Have an early AM flight? Why not stay at the Travelodge Hotel at Sydney Airport? Take the stress out of your next domestic or international flight and start your holiday a day early which ensures you have a much more relaxing morning. Stay the night before you fly and leave your car securely parked onsite with Wilson Space Shuttle Car Park for the duration of your trip. The package conveniently includes a complimentary return airport shuttle service to ensure you arrive at the terminal hassle-free.

How To Secure Cheap Airline Tickets

We all know travelling can be expensive but saving a bit of money here and there can make all the difference. So, we’ve put together 4 of our best tips to help you get the best flight prices!

1. Book as early as possible

 

Plane tickets tend to jump in price the closer the date of departure so booking as early as possible will ensure you get the lowest and best rates. Studies show that tickets are the cheapest 6 weeks before you travel.

2. Be strategic with the days you fly in/out

 

Weekends often tend to be the most expensive time to fly in and out so try and avoid those days. Instead, Tuesdays are traditionally when you can find the best deals on flights from Australia, as well as Wednesdays and Thursdays. You could also look at booking really early morning or overnight flights if you’re really keen to save as these tend to be least popular.

3. Be flexible

 

Flexibility is one of the easiest ways to lower your airfare costs. If you’re not afraid of skipping on convenience for cheaper tickets opt for connecting flights or alternative airports as these are often significantly reduced in price.

4. Use flight comparison websites

 

Websites such as Skyscanner and Webjet will do all the research for you and help you find the cheapest flights and the best deals.

5. Clear your browser history

 

Sneaky cookies embedded by travel sites can identify that you’ve visited their site beforehand in some cases hike up their prices as they know you have an interest in purchasing. So, use incognito mode or be sure to clear the cache each time you search.

Remember to make sure you’re aware of any extra fees that may be hidden!

Now that you’ve secured your cheap airline tickets it’s time to consider you’re cheapest and safest parking option when it comes to flying in and out. Park at Sydney Airport closest 24/7, private and secure undercover car park, and be personally dropped off and picked up at the airport with our FREE shuttle service.
