Perth Airport is serviced by two terminals - Domestic and International. The Domestic terminal’s history actually dates back to World War II, when the first runways were built for use as an RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) base. Converted after the war to civilian use, the airport, which is located outside the city in nearby Guildford, was known as the Guildford Aerodrome until 1952 when it became the Perth International Airport. Once the subsequent International terminal was built in 1986, it  reverted to the Domestic title. The International terminal is located on Horrie Millar Drive, the Domestic on Brearley Avenue. They are approximately 11 kms apart. Plans are for all services to consolidate at an expanded International Terminal in several years.

The trip from the International Terminal to the CBD is about 30 minutes, with no traffic. 

Rental car service counters are located in the baggage claim areas of both airports.  All major rental companies have a presence there.

The Terminal Transfer bus service operates between the International Terminal (T1) and the Domestic Terminals (T2 & T3) and the journey takes approximately 8 minutes. Tickets are $8 for adults and children 5+ at the Perth Airport Connect kiosks or the bus driver. Transfer service is free of charge if travelling with Qantas, Qantas code-share airlines or for oneworld Alliance members.  Get a complimentary bus ticket from the Qantas Ticketing Counter prior to boarding the bus.

To catch the Terminal Transfer bus, make your way to the bus stop which is located at the front of the Terminal near the Arrivals area at the International Terminal and in front of Qantas Terminal 2 at the Domestic Terminals. For time table see http://www.perthairport.com.au/ToTheA...

The Perth Airport web page has info about transportation options once you're on the ground; including shuttle buses to the city, rental cars, and taxis.

NOTE: Any public transport options go to/from the Domestic Terminal.  Use the Transperth webpage to plot a course. In the journey planner select "landmark" and type either "domestic airport" or "international airport" then choose the streetname of your hotel.  Note that while this would be the cheapest option - it is far from direct or convenient.

The Perth Airport Shuttle operates both to and from Perth Airport and will pick you up or drop you off right at the door of your Perth City or Fremantle hotel.  If you live in the Fremantle area, the Connect shuttle will also pick you up or drop you off at your home. Costs and timetables can be found on their website or call 1300 666 806.

 Wireless internet access (Wi Fi) is available at Terminal 1 (International) and Terminal 3 (Multi-User Domestic) at Perth Airport . At Terminal 1, the high speed wireless service is available in the departures lounge.  In Terminal 3,  the service is in the arrivals lounge on the ground floor and the first floor departures lounge.  All food and beverage outlets in Terminal 3 are also within the coverage area for Wi Fi connection.

There are ample taxi ranks and rarely a shortage of vehicles. The ranks are manned by an attendant during most hours. If you require a station wagon or maxi bus for additional passengers and luggage just let the attendant know. A $2.00 fee is added to your fare if you leave from the International Terminal (T1) and Domestic Terminals (T2 & T3).  This fee contributes to providing better infrastructure at Perth Airport, including taxi waiting areas, monitoring equipment and kerb front facilities.
