  • The “skytrain” - Brisbane
    The “skytrain”
    by tiabunna, 3 more photos

    As with quite a few Australian airports, Brisbane has separate international and domestic terminals. These are separated by a distance of about 1km and movement between the two is by a rail service called the “skytrain” (ie the train travels on elevated tracks).

    From both terminals, a lift and escalators connects via walkways to the train platforms – though you might care to note that the lifts are somewhat inadequate when flights arrive and many passengers with bags wish to travel. If you have and can show a Qantas international boarding pass, I understand that the train trip is provided free: if, like us, your international trip is not with Qantas, the fare is $4A for the trip, which seems rather pricey for one km! The alternative would be a taxi, but as I gather that costs about $10, you probably are better off staying with the trains, which run at about an eight minute frequency. Of course, if Brisbane is your destination, the train can take you to the central city – or further on to the Gold Coast.

    Brisbane Airport has an excellent, quick and inexpensive rail connection to the city. However, unlike many airport rail systems which run 'every few minutes' so knowing the timetable is not really important, the Brisbane airport service is not quite as frequent and runs only every 30 minutes at certain times of the day. Check their website for the timetable!

    Brisbane Airport: Air train is easy

  • With Brisbanes traffic getting a little more crazy and congested each day and with the frequent crashes/problems on the Gateway motorway I would definitely recommend the Airtrain to either the domestic or international airport. I travelled from Roma St Station in the City to the Domestic terminal in under 25mins and it cost me less than $14. You can have as many bags as you can handle (there seemed to be more bags than people at some stages). You walk easily into the terminal from the airport station. A great idea.

    There is a really cheap shuttle service run by COACHTRANS Australia.
    They will take you door to door from airport to your hotel in the Brisbane CBD for AUS$11
    or $18 return
    The journey takes about 30 minutes.

    The same journey will cost you about AUS$30 each way in a taxi.
