A private Fairlight to Sydney Airport transfer is a fixed $119 for one or two passengers, one way, with tolls, the airport access charge, luggage and child seats all in the price — no sharing and no meter. Western Sydney Airport is from $169 and the Circular Quay and White Bay cruise terminals from $119. It is about 24 km from Fairlight to the terminals, roughly 33 min west along Sydney Road through Balgowlah, then over the Spit Bridge and along Military Road to the Warringah Freeway, through the Sydney Harbour Tunnel (or over the Bridge), then the Eastern Distributor and Southern Cross Drive to the airport.
You pay one fare for your group, set by the number of passengers — four people pay one fare, not four seats. The prices here are one way from Fairlight to Sydney Airport; the minibus is $199 for seven or eight and $229 for nine to eleven.


From $119 one way, the same fixed fare in both directions.

From Fairlight the run goes west along Sydney Road through Balgowlah, then over the Spit Bridge and along Military Road to the Warringah Freeway, through the Sydney Harbour Tunnel (or over the Bridge), then the Eastern Distributor and Southern Cross Drive to the airport, about 24 km and 33 min to the terminals without stops.
There is no train on the Northern Beaches; local buses run from Sydney Road to the B-Line or into the city.
Each neighbouring area has its own page and fare — nearest to Fairlight are Balgowlah, Manly and Manly Vale.
About 24 km and 33 min by road.
Fairlight is a quiet harbourside suburb just west of Manly, mostly apartments and older houses on steep streets running down to North Harbour.
It lies between Manly to the east and Balgowlah to the west, sloping south down to the harbour foreshore and the Manly Scenic Walkway.
Fairlight Beach and its rock pool, the harbour foreshore path between Manly Wharf and the Spit, and Forty Baskets Beach.
The alternatives from Fairlight: a taxi on the meter for about 24 km plus tolls and the night rate; a bus or ferry into the city and the airport train with your luggage, too late for a dawn flight; or driving 33 min each way and paying airport parking for the whole trip. See how they stack up.
On the way back to Fairlight, your driver waits in the P7 car park rideshare area at T1, or at Priority Pick-up along the P1 walkway at T2 and T3. Waiting is free for 60 minutes after an international landing and 40 after a domestic one — see where to meet your driver.
Picking up a relative nearby or a friend en route? We can stop at more than one address on the same trip, so the whole group rides together for one fixed fare — just add the stops when you book.
Each has its own page and published fares.
$119 for one or two passengers, one way, fixed. Larger vehicles are $139 for three to four, $159 for five to six, $199 for seven to eight and $229 for nine to eleven. Tolls, the airport access charge, luggage and child seats are included.
For a 6am domestic flight the pickup from Fairlight is around 2:55 am: two hours before departure at the terminal, the 33 min drive and a 30-minute weather and traffic margin. We confirm the exact time when you book.
The same fixed fare as the trip out: $119 for one or two passengers, $139 for three to four, $159 for five to six and up to $229 for nine to eleven. We track your flight, meet you at the Rideshare Pickup Area in the P7 car park at T1, or Priority Pick-up off the P1 walkway at T2 and T3, then drive you to your door in Fairlight.
No scheduled shuttle bus runs from Fairlight to the airport. What people call an airport shuttle here is a booked door-to-door car or van — ours is $119 fixed for one or two passengers from Fairlight, with free child seats. No free bus runs to Sydney Airport from the Northern Beaches; the B-Line stops in the city, so you would still pay for the airport train.
For one person travelling light at a normal hour, the train is usually cheapest at about around $25 to $30 per adult one way. Once there are two or more of you, or you have luggage, children or an early flight, a fixed fare closes the gap: from Fairlight it is $119 for one or two passengers and $139 for three or four — about $35 each for a family of four — door to door with tolls and child seats included.
It lies between Manly to the east and Balgowlah to the west, sloping south down to the harbour foreshore and the Manly Scenic Walkway. By road it is about 24 km to Sydney Airport, roughly 33 min in normal traffic.
Yes. Give us the building name and the best place to pull in, and the driver will help carry bags up or down to the car.
About 5 km; it is one of the quickest Northern Beaches pickups onto the Spit and Military Road.
No, Fairlight is a little cheaper: it sits in our closest fare band with Seaforth and Balgowlah Heights, from $119 for one or two passengers to Sydney Airport.
Roughly $25 to $30 per adult one way, because the private airport stations add an access fee of about $18 to the normal fare. From Fairlight there is no train line, so you first catch a bus into the city (or the ferry from Manly), then the T8 to the airport — slow with luggage and too late for the first flights.
It changes trip to trip: a taxi to Fairlight runs on the meter for about 24 km with tolls and the airport rank toll added, and Uber prices surge at busy times. If you want to know the cost before you land, our Fairlight fare is a fixed $119 for one or two passengers.
$169 one way for one or two people from Fairlight to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek, fixed and door to door, with tolls, bags and child seats included.

Yes. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice to change or cancel; inside 24 hours a cancellation fee applies.
