For those short on time, flying to Ayers Rock is the best bet as it is so remote. The rock is over 460kms southwest of Alice Springs, which itself is in the middle of nowhere. Driving to Alice Springs takes days in itself, while the trip to Ayers Rock, via Yulara, is another five hours on top. Alternately, Ayers Rock flights only take about 45 minutes from Alice.

Ayers Rock Connellan Airport is just a few kilometres north of the Ayers Rock service town of Yulara, home to the Voyages Ayers Rock Resort, where all the hotels and amenities are located.

Qantas and Virgin Blue offer flights to Ayers Rock. They both run daily routes from Sydney, while Qantas also flies from Alice Springs, Cairns and Perth.

Flights are more expensive than travelling overland, but save a lot of time and hassle.

As an alternative, visitors could fly to Alice Springs and take the bus or drive to Ayers Rock. Flights serve Alice from all major Aussie airports.
