Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)
Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.
