“Critical legal originals had to land in Perth before 4pm. Booked at 9am in Sydney. Photo proof of delivery in Perth at 3:42pm. That's the only thing that mattered.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this service.

What is "next-flight" interstate?
Your parcel is booked onto the next available passenger flight between origin and destination cities, with dedicated couriers handling collection and last-mile delivery. It's the fastest legal interstate option in Australia.
How fast is end-to-end transit?
Sydney-Melbourne: typically 4 to 6 hours door-to-door. Sydney-Brisbane: 5 to 7 hours. Sydney-Perth: 8 to 11 hours including the flight. Live quote shows the current cut-off and ETA.
What can I send next-flight?
Most documents, parts, samples, luxury items and devices. Items must comply with airline dangerous-goods rules, lithium batteries, aerosols and certain liquids have restrictions. Tell us at quote and we'll confirm.
How much does next-flight cost?
Sydney-Melbourne next-flight starts from $249 incl. GST for envelope and small-parcel sizes. Longer routes and heavier parcels scale up. Pricing reflects current flight cost, get a live quote.
Why is next-flight more expensive than overnight interstate?
Next-flight uses passenger-flight space, which is more expensive but much faster than freight. Two dedicated couriers also handle the job, one each end. Overnight interstate is the cost-sensitive alternative when same-day isn't critical.
Can I track the flight and the couriers?
Yes. You get live GPS tracking on both metro courier legs and SMS updates at flight check-in, take-off, landing and last-mile pickup.
