General Tips
for Air Travel to Gold Coast Australia
Flights from the major Australian cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin or Perth are available to both Brisbane and Gold Coast Airports. Brisbane Airport is best for international flights from Asia, Europe or US - unless you stopover in another Australian city first. Flights from
some cities in New Zealand go to both Brisbane and the
Gold Coast Airport. And there are limited direct flights from some
Asian cities to the Gold Coast - especially with AirAsia X
flying
directly into the Gold Coast from November 2007.
Gold Coast
Airport is also within easy driving distance of areas in
northern NSW including Byron Bay. Brisbane Airport is
approximately one hour's drive to the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine
Coast regional domestic airport is at Maroochydore.
