Departing from Lord Howe Island

Lord Howe Island Airport (LDH) is the only airport on the island. As there is no public transport on the island, your accommodation should arrange transfers to and from the airport for you, or you can hire a bicycle from town. You should aim to arrive at least 1 hour before flights to Sydney so you don't miss check-in and have to extend your stay.

The small terminal has very limited facilities. If you need to get something to eat, to use an ATM or access the internet, you should do these before going to the airport or wait until you land in Sydney.
