Travelers Tips

Check your Terminal

I highly recommend ASK and don't assume - so you are prepared for your flight especially on a long haul flight.  It's a long time to be miserable and not a great start to your holiday.

Charter Flights

If you don’t want to use public transport at all, Brisbane Airport also has facilities for charter flights and private jets – subject to customs, quarantine and immigration rules and airport regulations.

Helicopter transfers direct to the Gold Coast are also available. If you stay at a resort with a helipad this can be a very fast and efficient way to transfer directly to your Gold Coast accommodation.
