From 23 November 2026, Singapore Airlines' new daily non-stop flights to Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) make it easier than ever to discover a different side of Sydney and New South Wales.

Perfectly positioned between Sydney and the Blue Mountains, Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) is just a one-hour drive from the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, bringing you closer to nature from the moment you arrive.

In the Blue Mountains , wake up to fresh eucalyptus-scented mountain air and embrace a slower pace of life. Explore scenic nature trails, discover breathtaking lookouts, browse Leura's boutique shops and cafés, and experience Scenic World's iconic rides. Stay a little longer to enjoy star-filled skies with Blue Mountains Stargazing, journey through rugged landscapes aboard the historic Zig Zag Railway steam train, and discover unique local experiences from truffle hunting at RedGround Australia to farm stays and fruit-picking in Bilpin.

Beyond the mountains, discover Orange, Mudgee, and the Southern Highlands, where rolling vineyards, picturesque countryside and charming country towns await. Especially beautiful in autumn (Mar-May), these regions are a must-visit for their vibrant displays of seasonal colour.

•  Orange: Enjoy wine tastings and long lunches at Printhie, then unwind at Basalt, where architect-designed villas, outdoor soaking tubs and sweeping vineyard views offer a luxurious countryside retreat.
•  Mudgee: Indulge in boutique winery experiences, enjoy paddock-to-plate dining at Zin Food + Wine House, and retreat to Sierra Escape, where outdoor baths and star-filled skies await.
• Southern Highlands: Wander through charming villages and boutique cafés, enjoy farm-to-table dining at Burradoo Park Farm, take part in an immersive beekeeping experience at Bowral Honey Farm, and unwind at scenic country escapes such as Osborn House and Bendooley Estate.

Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) also opens the door to explore Western Sydney, where culture and adventure converge. In Parramatta, Sydney's second CBD, you'll find diverse dining, entertainment and cultural experiences, including the new Powerhouse Parramatta, opening in late 2026 as Australia's largest museum. Adventure seekers can head to Penrith for whitewater rafting, wakeboarding and surfing at URBNSURF Sydney. It's an ideal introduction to a side of Sydney that many visitors have yet to experience.
