Nancy-Bird Walton Airport, officially Western Sydney International Airport (WSI), is Sydney's newest international airport, located in Luddenham, Western Sydney.

Unlike airports with several terminals for different airlines, WSI handles domestic and international flights through one integrated terminal building. You generally do not need to work out which terminal your airline uses, but check-in counters, boarding gates and passenger processing can still vary by flight.

Jetstar, Qantas, Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines and Vietjet Air have all announced services from WSI. Their routes and start dates differ, so check which services operate on your travel date.

The Integrated Passenger Terminal

Domestic and international operations in one building

For travellers, the key question is not which terminal an airline uses, but whether your flight is domestic or international. That decides your check-in requirements, security procedures, border formalities and the documents you need. Do not rely on terminal numbers used at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport or elsewhere.

Domestic flights

Follow your airline's check-in and departure instructions for travel within Australia.

International departures

Allow time for check-in, security screening and any departure formalities.

International arrivals

Follow Australian border control and customs procedures on arrival.

Connecting flights

Arrangements depend on your itinerary, airline, baggage and whether you must clear immigration or security again.

Keep in mind: sharing one building does not mean you can move freely between every area. Access to gates and restricted areas depends on airport procedures and your flight.

Airline Check-In and Boarding at WSI

Counters and gates are assigned per flight

Even with one integrated terminal, check-in counters and boarding gates are assigned according to operational needs. Follow your airline's current instructions rather than assuming that an airline always uses the same counter or gate.

Before you leave for the airport

  • Check the departure airport and flight number on your booking.
  • Review your airline's check-in opening and closing times.
  • Confirm baggage allowances and any extra baggage charges.
  • Keep passports, visas and other documents ready for international journeys.
  • Check the latest airport flight information for your check-in area and gate.

Gate assignments can change, so keep checking airport displays and airline notifications after you arrive.

Connecting Flights at Nancy-Bird Walton Airport

What to confirm before a transfer

The integrated terminal can simplify the physical layout for connections between domestic and international services, but the time and procedures depend on your itinerary. Confirm whether your bags are checked through, whether you change tickets or airlines, and whether you must pass through border control.

Domestic to domestic

Usually the simplest connection, but follow your airline's instructions.

International to domestic

May involve immigration, customs, security screening and collecting or rechecking bags.

Separate tickets

Allow extra time: the onward airline may apply different check-in deadlines.

Note: one terminal does not guarantee a minimum connection time or that every transfer stays inside a restricted area. Your airline is the best source for your booking's requirements.

Plan Your Flight from Nancy-Bird Walton Airport

WSI brings domestic and international flights together in one building. Jetstar is scheduled to launch domestic services in October 2026, followed by Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines, with more routes planned. Focus on your airline, destination and flight date rather than a terminal number, and always confirm check-in, gate, baggage and connection details before you leave.
