Most air travellers to New South Wales arrive at Kingsford Smith International Airport, 8km from the Sydney central business district, which is Australia's largest international and domestic airport. It is the only international airport in New South Wales. It is likely to offer the cheapest flights into the state.
Seven other airports in New South Wales have interstate flights:
Flights from Melbourne and Canberra operate to Albury Airport.
Flights from Melbourne and Brisbane operate to Coffs Harbour Airport.
Flights from Melbourne operate to Ballina Byron Airport.
Flights from Brisbane operate to Port Macquarie Airport
Flights from Brisbane operate to Tamworth Airport
Flights from Adelaide operate to Broken Hill Airport.
Note that flights from some of these destinations do not operate every day.
International and domestic visitors to the Northern Rivers including Byron Bay should consider the Gold Coast Airport, which is only minutes from the New South Wales northern border, and has many domestic and some international flights. Similarly, interstate travellers visiting the south of New South Wales may choose to fly through Canberra Airport, to access the Snowy Mountains, South Coast or Riverina areas.
