Brisbane Airport
Brisbane Airport (BNE) is 20 km north-east of the city
centre at Eagle Farm, north of the river.
It is possible to fly directly to all Australian capitals
and numerous regional centres. Major carriers include Virgin
Blue, Jetstar, and Qantas.
The international terminal is serviced by many regional airlines
and it is possible to fly daily to most Asian centres (and
on to Europe), the United States and New Zealand without flying
via Sydney or Melbourne.
Transferring between terminals at Brisbane Airport
Check which terminal your flight uses. There are two terminals
at Brisbane Airport, International and Domestic, but some
domestic flights leave from the International Terminal and
some international flights (via other Australian cities) leave
from the Domestic Terminal. Check many times that youe using
the right airport.
Allow sufficient time for the transfer between terminals.
Trains are usually only every 30 min and finish ridiculously
early in the evening.
It is not practical to walk with luggage between the international
and domestic terminals, even though thee only about 2 km from
each other. The main road that connects them has no pedestrian
walkway and it is a busy road.
* AirTrain offers a connection during the day every
15-30 min. The AirTrain fare is included by Virgin Blue and
by Qantas when connecting between their flights: just present
your boarding pass to the Airtrain station staff. For others,
the train fare is $4 per person (currently children 14 and
under are free). The trip is 1 min long. The last train leaves
International for Domestic around 7:45, Domestic for International
around 8PM.
Be caredul: Eagle Farm station is closed and so is no use
even if it still on many maps as right next to the aiport.
Even when open, it was extremely inconvenient for passengers
because of its distance from the entrance.
* Taxi is really the only option outside AirTrain hours,
or if you have a limited connection time (say, you have turned
up at the wrong terminal).
