April and May tend to spike with school holidays and Easter travel. Keep an eye out for events like Mardi Gras and Vivid Sydney, which also bump up fares. Flying mid-week and outside holiday periods is your best move for a cheaper seat.

Sydney Airport (SYD) is just 8 kms from the city, making it a breeze to get downtown. Here’s how:


  • Train: Airport Link zips you to Central Station in 13 minutes. Trains come every 10 mins. Tap on with your card or grab an Opal.
  • Airport transfer: Pre-booked transport is available if you’re looking for an easy start to your trip.
  • Taxi or rideshare: About 20 minutes into the CBD, expect to pay AU$45–AU$55. Follow the signs to the taxi rank or priority rideshare pick-up.
  • Car hire: Rental counters are at all terminals. Handy if you’re heading beyond the city.

Visa and passport requirements for Australians flying to Sydney

You’ll need a valid passport to enter Australia. Good news for Kiwis: if you’ve got a New Zealand passport, you don’t need to apply for a visa. You’ll be granted a Special Category visa on arrival. Just fill out your Incoming Passenger Card and you’re sorted.

Time difference between Auckland and Sydney

Sydney is two hours behind Auckland. Both cities use daylight savings, so the difference might shift depending on when you fly. No need to do the maths, though, your arrival time already factors it in.
