About this route
Sydney Airport after 10pm on Saturday: the meter steps up to A$35.04, an uplift of A$6.75 on the day-rate equivalent.
Sydney Airport sits inside the curfew zone, so there are no scheduled arrivals between 11pm and 6am — the rank empties out overnight and the first bank of morning flights is when demand spikes. Treat the A$28.29 midpoint from Leichhardt to Sydney Airport as a regulated maximum, not a quote: traffic delays only raise the bill if they push the meter through the slow-speed threshold. Transport for NSW (Point to Point Transport Commission) sets the metered ceiling reflected here — about A$28.29 on the day rate for the trip into Sydney Airport.
