Jim's airport shuttle is only $15 pp. When we went from airport to the ship recently, there were a couple of stops to drop at hotels along the way. Quick and efficient, friendly and reliable.

Ready to Go. Very dependable. Around $50 total for a party of 6.

Train $17 to Circular quay, 2 min walk to The Rocks.

Another vote for Redy to Go, $22 each from airport to OPT, very near the Rocks. There was a booth at the Domestic terminal, expect there would be same at International. Train is fine if you don’t have a lot if luggage but at my age hauling luggage any distance us an effort. Also depending where you are at the Rocks you may encounter stairs or have to walk a long way round.

If you are really talking least dollars then:

400 bus from Airport to Mascot Station

Train from Mascot to Circular Quay

Walk to Rocks

Always use taxi airport to OPT - never had a problem - $50 is about right.

Hi Mr Gut

We are staying overnight at the Russell Hotel, Rocks, after flying down from Brisbane on Thursday morning. We are thinking of taking the train from the domestic airport but with a case each and a carry-on we're not sure if the walk is do-able for a senior couple. When we called up Google directions, it looked as if stairs were involved, even though it is only around 200metres to our hotel. Would you have any advice please?

Thanks

I’m not sure which is the Russell, but I think it’s on George almost opposite the OPT.

If so you’d go Airport to station, there is a lift.

Train to Circular Quay, againa lift to ground level. A flat walk to the OPT then there is a hill from the OPT to George Street, (there are stairs, but you can just go up the hill footpath instead. You come out on George where the entry to the car park that operates when ships aren’t in port has the entry gate.

I’ll try and find just where the Russell is look at a map.

Again, it is the pfaffing around with luggage and lifts that is a pain. Plus the train platform charge at the airport, not the train fare portion. Which is why we use the shuttle for $15 each, door-to-door.

My wife and I are both in our very late Seventies and we manage the train very well. You just have to maneuver your cases onto the train.I am not sure but it looks like you could avoid the stairs near the cruise terminal. Leave the railway station and go out towards Alfred st instead of where the ferries, are turn right and head towards George st, turn right up George st towards your hotel.We stayed at the Intercontinental hotel it was a fairly steep hill but we managed ok. You need to be fairly active and your cases need to be the type with 4 wheels. We put our carry on bags over the handle of our cases. . For our next cruise we will be using the train again.If you have any doubts best to get a taxi to drop you off to the front of the hotel. Good luck.

John.

We always get a cab - door to door and no hauling luggage long distances. As others have said, around $50 to The Rocks.

Thank you Mr Gut, John and everyone for your very helpful advice which is much appreciated.

What is the name of the shuttle?

It has been awhile since I have used a shuttle, but I used to find them most convenient. I even enjoyed the cook's tour en route to my accommodation.

He will be even more popular now;)

Did you know he is quite famous? He and his twin brother own a well known Seafood place in Bondi, lots of celebs go there, he is a silent partner now though.

Nicest driver we have met!!
