What are the benefits of the different airports in China and Australia?

Guangzhou Airport is the busiest in China, handling dozens of flights from China to Australia. Refurbished in 2004, it boasts duty-free shops, restaurants, relaxation lounges and a mini-hotel at the Main Terminal. Baby care rooms are provided, as is accessibility assistance. Beijing Capital Airport has plenty of cafés and restaurants, plus a duty-free section, currency exchange, and wheelchair assistance. If you choose China to Australia flights that land in Sydney, the airport is a top-class international air hub, with an extensive duty-free section and plenty of bars, restaurants and fast food kiosks. Limited mobility assistance is comprehensive, and families have child and baby care facilities. Melbourne Tullamarine also has a large variety of shops and eateries, a children’s play area and limited mobility assistance.


What is the best way to get in and out of airports in China and Australia?

The best way to get to Beijing Airport for flights from China to Australia is on the Beijing Airport Express subway train from Dongzhimen Station, taking about 30min. Or catch the Line 3 bus for a trip of about 45min. By car or taxi, it’s about a 15-minute drive. Going from Guangzhou central to the airport will take about 50min on the Line 2 subway from Haizhu Square or an hour on the Airport Express 1 bus. A taxi or hire car will make the trip in about 30min. To get from Kingsford Smith to central Sydney, use the train service to Wynyard Station on the T8 and T9 lines, a trip of about 20min. Otherwise, there’s the No. 309 bus that takes about 5min longer. By car, it’s a trip of about 15min. From Melbourne Tullamarine, there’s a Skybus from the airport to Skybus Coach Terminal in Spencer Street in central Melbourne. These leave every 20min and get to the city in about 30min. If you hire a car or a taxi, it will take about 20min .

From Sydney, you can explore the whole state of New South Wales. If you want to head inland to Parramatta, Sydney Trains will get you there in about 30min on the T1 line. It’s about 25min by car or taxi. Another NSW town worth visiting is Wollongong, on the east coast – catch the T8 train via Wolli Creek, which takes about 1h and 30min. From Melbourne Airport, you can head for the southern coastal city of Geelong. The V-Line trains and buses make the trip in about an hour, as will driving there. If you prefer, a Port Phillip ferry is a pleasant way to get there, taking approximately 1h and 30min from Melbourne city. On the other side of Port Phillip Bay is Frankston, about an hour away on a Metro train, which you can catch from Melbourne Southern Cross Station on Spencer street, or about 3h on the Line 907 bus.
