Sydney airport may be big, but it is very well planned. You can traverse your terminal with ease, provided you know where to go. If you’re arriving in the international terminal, you’ll find collection spaces along the arrivals road, or in the express pick up zone in P9 car park. If you’re departing through the international terminal, you’ll need to go to the departures road, where there are plenty of drop off spaces.

For domestic travellers, the pick up zones we recommend are the priority pick up, express pick up, and blue emu pick up. These are all well signed, so you shouldn’t encounter any difficulties in finding them.
