Townsville (TSV) and Brisbane (BNE) Airport Information

Departing Townsville Airport (TSV)

Townsville Airport (TSV) has one terminal for all arrivals; whether you get public transport, a taxi, or drive, we recommend you arrive an hour or more before your flight in case of long queue times.

If you're heading toward Townsville Airport, you can make use of the city shuttle. The service runs seven days a week, but it's not the most efficient option as you'll have to pick up other passengers on the way.
Another affordable way of getting to the airport is with Ingham travel. The company runs four return bus trips from Ingham to the airport every day.

Taxi and ridesharing services are also available in Townsville. A one-way trip to the airport costs around AUD 12-15 and usually takes 15 minutes depending on the traffic. If you’re looking to drive yourself to Townsville Airport, you have plenty of parking options:

Short-Term Car Park: If you're planning a trip to Sydney for less than 10 hours, leave your car here. The first 10 minutes are free, and it only costs AUD 20 to park here for 7 hours.
Saver Car Park: For trips longer than a day, this car park offers the best value for money. Rates are AUD 19 per day, and the spaces are close to the terminals.
Premium Car Park: Only a one minute walk from the terminal buildings, this is the best parking option for travellers that want extra convenience. It costs AUD 26 to park here each day, and the lot is covered and secure.
 

Arriving at Brisbane Airport (BNE)

As the capital city of Queensland, Brisbane Airport (BNE) is one of Queensland’s busiest airports. When you arrive, you’ll enter the terminal on Level 1, where you’ll find the baggage carousels, bathrooms and cash machines.

Located only 22km from the Brisbane CBD, it takes only 20-minutes to get to the CBD, and trains depart every 15 minutes from 5:04 a.m. to 10:04 p.m. every day.

To take a taxi or uber from Brisbane Airport to your accommodation, head to the taxi rank out the front of the domestic terminal.
