Arrival
University Airport Reception desk
You should proceed to the University Airport Reception desk. The desk is located opposite the Information counter, half way between Arrival Gates A/B and C/D. If you have trouble finding the desk, ask airport staff for directions.
If you advised UTS International of your travel details by completing the Arrival Details Form there will be a Welcome to UTS package waiting for you at the University Airport Reception desk.
