Your driver collects you from the terminal your flight lands at: Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for Virgin Australia and Terminal 4 for Jetstar and other low cost domestic airlines. Turn your phone on once you are off the plane and your driver confirms the meeting point. Bags on a domestic flight usually take 20 to 30 minutes, and an international arrival through customs takes longer, so book for your landing time and let the flight tracking do the rest.
Meet and greet, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.
