The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a huge impact on local Gold Coast businesses, which rely heavily on visitors from Queensland, interstate and overseas.
During this time, it is hard to keep the website fully up to
date with all the changes. In the meantime here are some resources for visitors.
Our main booking partners for hotels and for tours, tickets, theme parks and activities
are keeping everything up to date, so please use those resources in the
meantime.

Australian cities

The airport at Brisbane is a gateway for domestic and
international passengers to the Gold Coast and south east Queensland.
It is Australia’s second busiest
airport for
international visitors behind Sydney.
Please check to see if you will need an Australian Visa to travel to Australia if you are visiting from overseas.
Brisbane has
separate
Domestic and International terminals. Make sure you know
which
one you are arriving or departing from so you can let organise your
hire car or airport pick up service for the right place.
Wheelchair Access
Brisbane
International is a full international airport with all the facilities
you would expect including wheelchair access to aircraft via
ramps and air-bridges.
First and Business Class Travel
Some
of the international airlines offer first class, business and economy
options on flights into Brisbane. Each airline has it's own
standards for these classes of travel and some airlines use
older versions of their aircraft to fly the Brisbane services.
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.
