Brisbane Airport Halal Travel Guide

Brisbane airport is a large and modern airport serving the city of Brisbane and surrounds. It has direct international flights, together with being a domestic hub for much of Queensland and Northern NSW. It has a large (perhaps too large), single building Domestic Terminal with numerous aerobridge gates, a large shopping atrium, pubs and restaurants covered by free Wi-FiIt has a smaller and separate (almost intimate) International Terminal, with a smaller range of shopping and food, that can get quiet outside of peak times.

Muslim Friendly Flights from Brisbane Airport

Domestic

There are interstate Flights from all Australian capitals. Major domestic carriers include https://en/plan/destinations/flights-to-brisbane/ Virgin Australia, Jetstar and Qantas-Australia. The airport is serviced by many regional airlines in Queensland and New South Wales.In particular Fly Corporate links the northern NSW towns of Armidale and Tamworth. Virgin and Qantas-Australia also operate to the NSW city's of Port Macquarie and Newcastle. There are also Flights to Lord Howe Island with Qantaslink.

Domestic Flights to Norfolk Island with Air New Zealand still leave from the International Terminal.

There are regional Queensland Flights to make many city's and towns.

International

It is feasible to fly daily to most Asian centres (and on to Europe) and the United States and New Zealand, without flying via Sydney or Melbourne.

Ground transportation

You can easily transfer from the airport to the downtown, or to the Gold Coast, or to the Sunshine Coast. Train, bus and transfer services make intermediate destinations accessible.

City centre

BrisbaneAirtrain - The Airtrain is a regular service from the Domestic and International air terminals into Brisbane city and then on to the Gold Coast

  • Airtrain connects to the city from the airport every fifteen minutes during peak times and half hourly in non-peak times. Services stop all stations to Roma Street, including Fortitude Valley and Brisbane Central Stations. Most Airtrain services continue on to the Gold Coast. Travel duration to the Brisbane CBD is around 30 minutes. Travel duration to the Gold Coast is around 2 hours and bus and tram connections exist at major stations for connections to Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise|Surfers Paradise, Coolangatta and other Gold Coast destinations. Check the TransLink Journey Planner for connection details. Trains start running about 05:00. The last trains leave the city around 21:00 and the airport before 22:00. An adult fare to the city stations is $18.50 when purchased at a station or paid for with a Go Card smart card via the card readers at the station. Discounts are available when purchasing tickets online via the Airtrain website. Discounts apply for booking travel in advance, where 2 adults are travelling together, for groups and in some instances children under 14.
  • Taxi A taxi from the airport to Brisbane Central (train) station costs a minimum of $35 in good traffic. A good option for getting into the City can therefore be for two or more travellers to share the cost of a taxi to Brisbane Central. All taxis are metered and it is feasible to share a cab (either officially, where each group pays 75% of the fare), or by informal agreement with the passengers before boarding (with multiple drop-off points and a fare paid at the final destination). From Brisbane Central or Roma Street station a traveller can get to just about anywhere else in Brisbane.
  • Uber The Domestic Terminal has a dedicated pick-up lane for pre-booked travel, including taxis and ride shares booked via a smartphone app. The pick-up lane is the second vehicle lane from the front of the terminal and there are two zones, one for Qantas-Australia and one for Virgin/Tiger. From the International Terminal look for signs to the pre-booked pick up area at the side of the terminal. A $3.50 surcharge is added to your Uber fare.
  • Con-X-Ion also provides transfers via shuttle bus to Brisbane City lodging. Adult fare (one way) to Brisbane City is $20. Fares are cheaper if you buy a return ticket. You can end up waiting up to an hour if you try to book when you arrive at the airport, so pre-booking is a must and no refunds are allowed. Travel duration varies depending on the number of passengers on the bus and traffic; it could be anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes.
  • Public transportation via Airport Village Slowest and affordableest is using the T-bus and public transportation. You can get to town for around $4. From the airport, ride the free of charge T-bus to Skygate (Airport Village). The T-bus stops near the terminal building and not at the bus stop for other buses and vans (extremely simple to find though, or ask at the information counter) and only some of the T-buses go to the Airport Village (express buses only go between domestic and international whereas regular ones also go to Skygate every 20 minutes). From Skygate, wait at the place you got off the bus and take Translink bus 590 to Toombul Shopping Centre (only 2 stops). From there you can catch a train to the city. This costs under $4 with a go card, off peak. You can also buy single tickets, however that will be more expensive. You can purchase a go card at the Airtrain station for $30 ($10 deposit and $20 usable), but you cannot purchase the go card at the Airport Village or from a driver. Thus for the cheapest way of getting to town, first go to the Airtrain hub to buy a go card but don't go through the turnstile and instead backtrack to the T-bus stop.

Gold Coast

  • By train. Surfside buses connect to the airtrain at Robina, covering the entire route down to Tweed Heads and all the way along the Gold Coast. You can buy a single ticket to cover the trip from the airport to your Gold Coast destination, costing around $30. Check the translink website for the best connection depending on where you are going on the Gold Coast.
  • Con-X-ion offers a door-to-door transfer from $49 each way.

Sunshine Coast

How to get around in Brisbane Airport

Domestic Terminal

The domestic terminal has separate ground floor check-in for the various operating airlines. Qantas-Australia to the left, Virgin to the right and Jetstar in the centre. You then clear security and take the escalators to the departures level above. Each airline has it's own security processing next to the checkin. There is quick processing through security: the domestic terminal is all one building and you can use any security for any airline section to get airside - and then go to your gate. If you've got your boarding pass and you don't have luggage to check, you can just proceed through the closest security screening and you don't need to follow the signs to any particular airline or gate.

Domestic to International Transfer

Allow sufficient time for the transfer between the international and domestic terminals. The terminals are 3 kilometers apart and it is not feasible to walk between them; the primary street that connects them has no pedestrian walkway and is very busy.

Transfers between the airport terminals can be made on the Airtrain service. It offers connections during the day with a train every 15-30 min. The train fare is $5, $4.50 if you book a ticket online beforehand and the trip is 2 min long. The Airtrain fare is included by Virgin Australia and by Qantas-Australia when connecting between their flights; just present your boarding pass to the Airtrain station staff.

  • Domestic to International Transfers operate Monday to Friday 05:40–21:59, Saturday Sunday 06:00-21:59 (last service).
  • International to Domestic Transfers operate Monday to Friday 05:30–20:56, Saturday Sunday 05:30–20:57.

Another option is the TBus service, which is free. Services operate every 20 minutes and bus stops are outside the Qantas-Australia and Virgin Australia arrivals hall at the Domestic Terminal and outside the arrivals hall at the International Terminal. TBus also services Skygate (Airport Village), which is close to the Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) ], a small Shopping Centre that specialises in clothing and homewares stores, but also contains a food court. It's expensive, but worth checking out if you've got more than a few hours between flights. Be careful though, as the last bus back to the airport terminals is at 18:20.

Outside of Airtrain hours or if you have a limited connection time, a taxi is your only option.

Wait

Lounges

  • Qantas Lounge is available in the domestic terminal in a familiar style, for Qantas-Australia Club members or partners travelling with the airline.
