Road Transport options and shuttle services from Sydney Airport
With the recent withdrawal of Qantas airlines from servicing Wollongong, shuttle services and coach companies are operating from Sydney Airport.
AIRPORT CONNECT, a Sydney Airport Shuttle service, are happy to provide a service for delegates travelling from Sydney airport to Wollongong to attend the GPET Convention and/or Satellite meetings for a cost of $30.00 one way.
Bookings MUST be made prior to travel (at least three days) and paid in advance.
Please call 1300 73 72 12 or (02) 83949106 to make your booking and ensure you leave contact details. Please mention the GPET Convention.
You can also book online through the website http://www.airportconnect.com.au
PLEASE NOTE: The full cost of the private shuttle is $300. If you are arriving at a time when no one else is with you, you may be required to wait until a time when other delegates arrive to fill the service (a minimum of 10 is required for individual hire). If Airport Connect cannot provide you a service because insufficient numbers are registered, they will let you know prior to your travel and you will have an option of either opting to pay more for the shuttle (eg only five people booked – cost is $60 each) or travelling down by train or hire car.
