Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY)

Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY), also known as the Maroochydore Airport, has one terminal and is located 10 kilometres north of Maroochydore and 26 kilometres south of Noosa. You can get to and from the airport by taxi, shuttle bus or rental car. If you choose the last option it is recommended to book in advance. Rideshare apps, such as Uber, Shebah and Ola, are another transportation alternative. Door-to-door shuttle buses are run by Con-X-ion Airport Transfers. The shuttles run after each arrival, but it is necessary to book in advance and, depending on where you are staying, the cost will vary. A public bus operated by Translink stops to the north of the check-in area.

Electricity

Australia operates on a 230/240V supply voltage and 50Hz frequency. The country uses Type I power plugs, which feature two flat pins forming a 'V' shape, along with a grounding pin. This standard is also commonly used in New Zealand, Argentina, China, and several Pacific island nations. Remember to pack a universal adapter if your devices use a different plug type to ensure hassle-free charging.
