Flying from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and other cities
Students fly to Sydney from cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. Many routes include a stop, so the total journey can be long. Check your ticket for the exact schedule.
India uses UTC+5:30 all year. Sydney is 4.5 hours ahead in Australian winter and 5.5 hours ahead in daylight saving time, which usually runs from October to April.
After a long trip: immigration and bags
You land at International Terminal T1. Then you go through immigration, collect your luggage and clear biosecurity. Declare food and plant items honestly. Queues can be long after several flights land together.
We track your flight number. The driver meets you in the arrivals area and adjusts to the real landing time.

Family luggage and vehicle size
Students often bring two or more large bags. A Premium Sedan fits one or two people with up to two large bags and one carry-on. For three large bags, or a parent travelling too, choose a Premium SUV such as a Kluger, Lexus RX, RAV4 or similar. For four or more large bags, choose a People Mover such as a Kia Carnival or similar.

Moving in, orientation and the first semester
Some students go first to a hotel or a friend's home, then move into their student accommodation. Book each trip as its own fixed-fare ride.
Universities usually run orientation before classes begin. Plan to arrive a few days early, so there is time to rest and prepare.
Payment in Australian dollars and the trip home
You pay online by card using the secure link we send by SMS and email. The fare is in Australian dollars, and your bank may convert it from rupees. Any bank fees are set by your bank.
At the end of term, book the student's Sydney address to T1. Add the flight time and choose a pickup with a comfortable margin.
