Excellent service and price
Very smooth, punctual
After arriving on an international flight, I transferred to Terminal 3 and boarded the SKY BUS by scanning the QR code on the printed voucher at the stop. I recommend the upper deck for the best views. It was a comfortable 30-minute ride to Southern Cross Station.
The driver was excellent and she drove us well to the airport in a timely and safe manner. The staff greeting and onboarding customers were friendly and offered assistance with luggage.
