Brisbane Airports & Ground Transportation
One big question for travelers is which Brisbane airport to fly into. Here’s a quick guide to Brisbane’s airports and how to get to the city from each:
Brisbane Airport (BNE)
G'day, traveler! Brisbane Airport (BNE) is your gateway to Queensland's vibrant capital. A hop, skip, and a jump (well, a 20-minute drive) from the city center, this modern hub offers a smorgasbord of shops, restaurants, and comfy lounges to relax in before your flight. Keep your eyes peeled for the Moreton Bay fig trees dotted around the terminal - they're like Brisbane's leafy ambassadors! Getting to the city is a breeze with the Airtrain, buses, taxis, and ride-shares all readily available. Be sure to factor in some extra travel time during peak hours, as Brisbane traffic can get a bit cheeky!
Tip: Pack your patience and a good book for potential delays during peak travel times.
Gold Coast Airport (OOL)
Gold Coast Airport (OOL), also known as Coolangatta Airport, is another option, slightly further south but still within reach of Brisbane. Located right on the border of Queensland and New South Wales, it's the gateway to the famous Gold Coast beaches and theme parks. The airport has undergone significant upgrades in recent years, with new shops, restaurants, and expanded terminal facilities. Getting to Brisbane from OOL takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by car or train. So if you're planning to hit the Gold Coast before heading to Brisbane, OOL could be the perfect choice!
