Sydney cruise terminal to airport

Hello: Does anyone know how far it is from the cruise terminal which I think is at Darling Harbor or thereabouts to the airport and any idea about what a can would cost?

Thank you!

Two cruise terminals in Sydney - one at Circular Quay and one at White Bay. I'm guessing a taxi would be about $30-$40. Last time we used the cruise company's coach travel to the airport - I think we paid $15 each.

You could play around with this to get a rough estimate of the taxi cost

https://www.taxifare.com.au/

Naturally, the end cost will depend on traffic on your trip, but at least this gives you an idea. It's about 17kms.

Tios are neither required, nor expected - but if you have a mountain of luggage * & the cabbie handles it all for you, I'm sure he would appreciate a little something, if you felt so inclined. If not, a simple Thank You is enough.

* someone I know cruises a lot & takes the " more is never enough" approach to her packing for the trip.

Thank you. My TA can get a shuttle for two for $36.00 one way. It seems the taxi fare is close to that.

As time goes by we tend to pack less and less. Well at least I do. My better half on the other hand....... .

I don't know why she needs like 8 pairs of shoes for two weeks away but I have learned not to question it. Just say "yes dear." .

Oh well ... shoes - that's a different thing altogether! Suitcase room, like $, has a completely different value for shoes, than for any other commodity .

Would you like a list of Sydney's best women's shoe shops? There will probably be some sales on while you're here - and if not, what great souvenirs

Sure why not. . She always likes to get shoes when we are on vacation.

OTOH I like to get a watch or a jacket when I am away as a souvenir, hence my user name. I collect them. .

The AUD36 is a good price - it costs almost that much for two to take the stupid train due to Sydney's dumb policies (huge surcharges for embarking or departing the CityRail at either airport station).

Russ it's $36.00 USD. Still seems ok though. I don't know what cabs are there however.

$36 isn't bad. That's about 48 Aussie and it runs nearly 60 Aussie to get from the airport to Sydney's CBD (which is directly south of Circular Quay).
