A.

Q. What if I dont arrive on time or miss my flight?

A. If you arrive after hours or by some chance you miss us or we miss you due to sudden travel changes, please go straight to your booked accommodation. You can hire a taxi to take you to the Hostel/UC Residences by telling the taxi driver to take you to the name of the place you have booked. (You can also ask the airport staff to assist you with making telephone calls). The cost for the taxi fare from the airport to any of the accommodation is approximately A$40.
