There’s no need to worry about transferring between terminals at Darwin Airport, because both domestic and international arrivals and departures are located within the one building. If you are transiting Darwin Airport from overseas you will be required to undergo the regular passenger screening process, including potential random selection for body scanning, prior to entering the transit lounge.

There are airport transit lounge facilities that allow ‘transit without a visa’ TWOV eligible passengers to connect to their onwards flight.

There are no inter-aircraft baggage transfer arrangements at this airport. Therefore in all cases you are boarding an onwards flight that is a different aircraft from the aircraft you arrived on, you will also need to clear immigration to collect and transfer baggage. You will need an Australian visa such as a Transit visa to clear immigration.

This process is similar to that experienced at your port of departure.

Circumstances at airports change from time to time and the above information is only intended as a guide. Airport specific websites may provide more up to date and further information that may also assist, such as airport operating hours and accommodation options.
