Perched between Lismore and Ballina, Alstonville is perfectly placed — which means most trips are short, and the airport is closer than many locals realise. WhiBlu covers the plateau 24/7.
- About 15 min to BNK
- Early flights covered
- Upfront fares
Common trips
Where Alstonville rides usually go
- Down to Ballina — shopping, the beach or Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, about 15 minutes away.
- Across to Lismore — work, the hospital or a night out, without the drive home.
- Around the village — the Plaza, medical centres and the bowlo.
- Wollongbar — quick hops to the neighbouring village and campus.
Most plateau trips are short enough that the ride home costs less than a day of airport parking — and nobody has to skip the second glass at dinner.

Alstonville rideshare questions, answered
How far is Alstonville from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport?
About 15 minutes down off the plateau — one of the shortest airport transfers in our service area. Pre-book your pickup for when you expect to be out of the terminal; we do not track flights.

Yes. The platform runs 24 hours a day, and pre-dawn airport runs are a regular booking. Lock it in the night before so it is not a favour you have to ask.
Do you cover Wollongbar too?
Yes — the two villages are two minutes apart and both are in our service area. See Wollongbar rides.
What does an Alstonville to Lismore trip cost?
