Thornleigh to Sydney Airport
Thornleigh is a well-established suburb in the Hornsby Shire, sitting between Pennant Hills and Waitara on the Upper North Shore. Residents enjoy proximity to Thornleigh train station and easy access south via the Pacific Highway. Getting to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport follows this arterial south through Wahroonga, St Leonards, and the Gore Hill Freeway before connecting to Southern Cross Drive into the terminals.
Distance is approximately 34 km with a typical journey time of 35–50 minutes. Mornings between 7–9 am see the heaviest Pacific Highway congestion around Artarmon — our drivers track this live and reroute via the M2 when it saves meaningful time, at no extra cost.
We drop off at the correct terminal for your airline — T1 International, T2 Domestic (Virgin/Rex), or T3 Domestic (Qantas). Check our terminals guide if you're unsure which one to use.
