Adelaide International Airport ( ADL ) is just over 4 miles from the city centre and it's really quite easy to get to town from the airport. You can grab a taxi - it costs about $13.00 and the journey takes about 15 minutes. There is a $2.00 surcharge for passengers using taxis to exit the airport.
There is also the Skylink Airport Shuttle - it runs between the airport, city and interstate rail terminal (Keswick). A one-way adult airport/city fare costs $7.50. You can grab it from the ground level of the airport and it will drop you off at your hotel. Check out www.skylinkadelaide.com for more details.
The cheapest way to get from the airport to the city is the JetBus. For only $3.50 (for a one-way adult ticket), the bus takes you from the upper terminal of the Airport to Adelaide Central Business District. Although it won't stop at your hotel specifically like SkyLink, there are a number of stops in the city that are convenient for most travelers. www.adelaidemetro.com.au
If you are staying at beautiful beach-side Glenelg, from 15 October 2006 the public transport bus system (Adelaide Metro as listed above) provides a bus service from the airport (upper terminal) to Glenelg. This will save time and hassle in needing to go into the city first then out to Glenelg - much better if you are arriving a bit jet lagged!
You can also rent a car (there are several car rental firms based at the airport) or get a limousine.
Remember that when you arrive in South Australia you must not bring fruit or vegetables with you - South Australia is free of fruit fly, and wants to keep it that way. There are bins in the arrivals area for you to leave any fruit you still have with you on entry. Fruit and vegetables are well-priced in Adelaide, so you don't need to stock up before you come!
