1. Inter-terminal Transfers

T-Bus

It has never been easier to travel between Brisbane Airports' Domestic & International Terminals.  The introduction of the new T Bus allows for fast and easy travel, operating from the International terminal every 20 minutes from 0510 until 2250.

Tickets can be purchased directly from the bus driver and cost AUD $5 per adult each way, children under 4 years travel free.  For timetable information click here

The T-Bus departs from directly in front of the terminal on level 2, Arrivals in the coach pick up & drop off zone.

Airtrain

The Airtrain is also available to travel between terminals, operating between 0545 and 2000 and costing AUD $4 per person each way.  The airtrain station is located directly in front of the terminal with access from level 3. 

The International terminal has a Domestic Transfer Check In counter for Qantas & Virgin Blue located on level 2 for passengers transferring from International to Domestic flights.  

For passengers travelling on connecting Virgin flights (meaning both domestic and international travel on Virgin Blue / Pacific Blue flights) or connecting Qantas & Qantas codeshare flights, a transfer between terminals is provided free of charge once passengers have completed domestic check in. Boarding passes are required to be provided at the Airtrain ticket office prior to travel. 

 2. The Refurbished Visitor Information Centre is now open!

Our Visitor Information Centre (VIC) at the Brisbane International Terminal was refurbished in early 2009.  The centre is located in the arrivals hall on level 2, close to where passengers exit Customs and Immigration.

Services offered at the centre include accommodation, transport, tour & attraction bookings; general airport & destination information and we are also the lost property office for the International Terminal.  There is an accommodation & car hire booking board attached to the Visitor Information Centre allowing passengers to make their own arrangements from free call phones.

The Visitor Information Centre is open daily to meet every arriving flight and has local & knowledgeable staff who are ready
to assist with all enquiries - tell your clients to look for the yellow and blue "i"
