Want to make your trip to and from Perth Airport as seamless as possible? We're here to help.
Perth Airport is currently undergoing renovations as part of it's 5 billion dollar investment in expanding Terminal 1, building new domestic facilities, a parallel runway, two multi-storey car parks, and the airport’s first hotel. In doing so, a few changes have taken place:
✈️Jetstar's domestic flights will now be operating from Terminal 2 at Perth Airport. As a result, no Jetstar services will be available at Terminal 3 or Terminal 4.
🚗The Short-Term Car Park at Perth Airport has significantly reduced capacity. If you haven't pre-booked your spot, consider parking elsewhere as it is likely to be full. The Short-Term Saver car park's operating capacity remains the same.
🚗If you're flying from T1 or T2 and planning to park at the airport, allow an additional 30 minutes for your trip due to construction, alternative driving lanes, and traffic congestion in this area. Alternatively, you might want to consider off-site parking.
🛑The Transperth Bus Stand (Stands 1 and 2, which serve bus routes 36, 37, and the 902 train replacement service to/from Perth and High Wycombe) has temporarily moved next to the Airport Central Train Station.
🚌 The Terminal Transfer Shuttle stop outside T2 is now closed. The new stop for the T3/T4 Terminal Transfer Shuttle is located on the forecourt road near T1 International Departures.

If you want a short transfer or do not wait for one during those select times, taxi ranks are available outside each terminal for a small fee.
🚗 IMPORTANT: The terminal transfer buses won’t stop at the Long Term Car Parks. If you want to travel to one of the Long Term Car Parks, you will need to take the Long Term Car Park bus instead.

There is a dedicated passenger pick-up/drop-off lane outside each terminal. However, drivers must remain at their vehicles and cannot exceed the two-minute time limit. Any vehicle left unattended will be fined. For this reason, many people prefer to use the following car parks for free:
Any Long-Term Car Park or the Regional Car Park: Drivers can park for free for 1 hour in any of the long-term car parks, except for the Long-Term Undercover. Drivers can similarly utilise the Regional Car Park for one hour. Simply take a ticket upon entry and insert it again upon exit. If you stay past 1 hour, you will be required to pay at the exit.
Express Pick-Up & Drop-Off at T2/T3: At Terminal 2 (T2), drivers are allowed five minutes to complete their pick-up or drop-off, while at Terminals 3 and 4 (T3/T4), the time limit is extended to six minutes. If drivers exceed these time limits, they will incur an overstay fee.
There are free showers at Terminals 1, on the ground floor of the International Arrivals Hall, before security screening. There are additional showers on Level 2, after security screening, available to international travellers only.
There are dedicated, signed smoking areas located outside all Perth Airport terminals. There are no smoking areas within the airport.
Lockers are available at all terminals for short-term luggage storage (up to six weeks). Simply store your items, make a payment, and you'll receive a ticket with a one-time PIN to access your belongings.
