    SYD Airport hotels

    Because they don't take phone bookings anymore best option is to join their loyalty program before booking. I paid $200 in November.

    SYD Airport hotels

    SYD Airport hotels

    I have stayed at CKS several times; it's a very good motel, has a decent restaurant and the shuttle is $8 per head to terminal. However, we found it easier and no dearer to hop in a cab.

    Useless airline booking websites!

    A common problem! For the absolute pits, try Garuda Air! I wasted a day and in the end flew with Singapore Airlines.

    New Experience

    I have flown with most airlines that operate out of Australia, and found that none of them really give a toss about their customers. Once, on my way back from Lax to Syd via Auk, the plane was delayed 8 hours. Staff at Lax managed to get me to Auk on another flight but although there were plenty...
