The JetExpress is a double-decker bus that gets to the airport more quickly, while the slower JetBus option picks up from many more locations along the way.

The driving time from the CBD in Adelaide to the airport is only around ten minutes’ driving time, so you won’t have to worry about leaving hours before you flight. Do make sure, though, to give yourself enough time to check in a minimum of 30 minutes before your departure time, and to carry some form of identity on you.
