Included in the fare
Shackleton to Perth Airport Transfer at a glance.
Coming in from Shackleton, the run to Perth Airport uses Great Eastern Highway through the hills, then the Wheatbelt road network. The climb out of the Darling Scarp at Greenmount is the slow part; past it the Wheatbelt roads are open and straight. Fuel and rest stops thin out quickly east of Northam, so a break is planned into the run rather than improvised.
198 km is the road distance actually driven between Shackleton and Perth Airport, not a straight line on a map, and the 2 h 15 min estimate is measured over that road. Both numbers set the fixed fare, so a longer way round in traffic costs you nothing and gives the driver no reason to take one.
