Brisbane Airport Australia

Brisbane Airport is 20 kilometres north-east of the city centre at Eagle Farm, north of the river.

There are both domestic and international terminals at Eagle Farm and it is possible to fly to all Australian capitals and numerous regional centres from the Brisbane airport domestic terminal.

Major carriers using the Brisbane airport include Virgin Blue, Jetstar, and Qantas.

The Brisbane airport international terminal is serviced by all major regional airlines and it is possible to fly daily to most Asian centres, the USA and New Zealand. It is no longer necessary to travel via Sydney or Melbourne, although tickets may be routed through such airports to obtain cheaper fares.

It is not practical to walk with luggage between the International and Domestic terminals at the Brisbane airport. AirTrain offers a connection during the day with a 30 minute frequency or 15 minutes during peak. Outside AirTrain hours taxi may be the only option. Allow sufficient time for the transfer between terminals. The AirTrain fare is included by Virgin Blue and by Qantas when traveling between their flights.

AirTrain connects to the city from the airport every fifteen minutes during peak times and stops at Central, South Bank, Brunswick Street and Roma Street stations.

Travel time between the international terminal and Roma Street Station is 23 minutes. It is also possible to take the Airtrain direct to the Gold Coast, although it is necessary to connect to a bus service at Nerang to reach Surfers Paradise or at Robina to reach Coolangatta.

If you are leaving or arriving on a late flight to the Brisbane Airport it is important to note that the last Airtrain departs the Domestic Terminal around 8.00pm.

CoachTrans also provides transfers via shuttle bus to Brisbane City accommodation and to the Gold Coast.
