Adelaide Airport is located between the city centre and West Beach. The airport has frequent flights to most Australian destinations including Alice Springs, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and also handles some international flights.
Many hostels in Adelaide offer free pick up from the airport but it is best to phone ahead to book first. The JetBus (routes J1 and J2) and JetExpress (route J1X) buses are the cheapest way to travel between the airport and the city centre. The trip costs just $5.10 ($3.20 off peak) and you can use Adelaide Metro Singletrip and Daytrip tickets on JetBus and JetExpress services.
If you’re arriving on a late flight you’ll need to take a taxi into town, which will cost around $15.
