Departing from Brisbane Airport

Getting to Brisbane Airport

Located 12 km from the city centre, a trip to Brisbane Airport on board the SkyTrain takes only 20-minutes. Tickets cost AUD 15 one-way and trains depart every 15 minutes from 5:04 a.m. to 10:04 p.m.

Another affordable option is to take the public bus. TransLink offers a service that connects passengers to Brisbane with its 569 and 590 routes. There are also coaches that provide direct transfers between the airport and the CBD.

Which Long-Term Parking Option is the Best for You?

ParkLong is the best option for stays longer than four hours. It's the closest long-term option to the domestic terminal and is just a short 3 to 10-minute walk to the check-in counters.

Park Premium is the most expensive option but gives you absolute convenience. It's located on level 3 of the P1 Domestic car park and has express entry and exit ramps into the terminal.

ParkValet is ideal for passengers who don't want to waste time looking for a parking spot. Simply drop off your car, grab your luggage and make your way to the check-in counters.
