TRAVEL-TIME GUIDANCE
Please base your transfer plans on three factors.
Travelling Time
Private Transfer. Approximately:
- Port Douglas <> Airport 75 minutes
- Palm Cove <> Airport 25 minutes
- Cairn City <> Airport 20 minutes
Seat-in-Coach Transfer. Approximately:
- Port Douglas <> Airport 90 minutes
- Palm Cove <> Airport 30 minutes
- Cairn City <> Airport 30 minutes
These travelling times reflect the norm. In peak season (August to January), on busy weekends and in wet weather, times will probably be longer. Traffic accidents and road works will also cause delays.
Check-in Requirements
Requirements vary considerably from airline to airline so please check what they expect of you. Also note that Domestic Flights departing from the Cairns International Terminal have the extended International check-in-time requirements.
Personal Circumstances
Preferences vary. You may have no luggage and choose to get to check-in just before it closes. Or you may prefer to arrive at the airport way ahead of time and chill out in a lounge. We have no way of knowing your preference but we are very happy to provide advice on the viability of what you have in mind.
PLEASE NOTE. We are only in a position to advise transfer times. Responsibility ultimately rests with you in establishing a pickup-time that best meets your requirements and which guards against unforeseen circumstances. It is strongly suggested that your Travel Insurance covers your transfers.
