Ride to Sydney domestic airport for 6am flight

[kpc]

In 2 weeks' time I need to be at Qantas domestic terminal for a 6am flight. I'm connecting to an international flight in Bne and have a bag that I need to check in at a staffed counter. I think I should aim to arrive by 4am latest. That brings me to the important Q.

I normally just gat an Uber / Didi from my home (lower North Shore) but was wondering is that the best and most reliable option at that time? I note I can prebook an Uber. Or should I prebook a taxi or just call for one when needed?

Any personal experiences for very early flights in Sydney?

I would have thought an Uber or DiDi would be ok.

What day of the week?

You could check general availability on a similar day prior if you happened to be awake at 4am…

Sat am

Pre book the Uber. I do that all the time for the OMG o’clock departures.
You also get 1pt per $

I would get an Uber but I have found no value in pre-booking.
Unless of course you are in an area where there are frequently problems finding Ubers.
But even then I am not sure it really offers more certainty.
In my admittedly limited experience, it just seems to lock in a higher price.

Prebooking in BNE is very expensive so I just leave 15 mins extra for it to turn up

Have you considered overnighting in a Sydney Airport hotel?

It may be cost effective considering the price of a early am transport service.
