To make your flight as relaxing and hassle-free as possible, it is a good idea to understand how to get to the airport and make your way to the terminal you are flying from. Dive into our complete guide to Brisbane airport so you know exactly where to go and other helpful information to make your experience as pleasant as possible. Proper planning will allow you to focus on looking forward to wherever you are travelling to and avoid unexpected issues.
How To Get to Brisbane Airport
You can get to Brisbane Airport in several ways, including by Uber, taxi, private transfer, bus, or train. With several options to choose from, getting to the airport is straightforward.
Once you arrive, Brisbane Airport has four parking options: AIRPARK, ParkLong, ParkShort, and ParkValet. AIRPARK is perfect for those planning on going away for a long trip, with a car park that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are also dedicated parking spaces in both terminals for those who require disabled accessibility to the airport. The International Car Park is the closest to the terminal entrance, and the P2 Domestic Car Park is the furthest away.
If you have a private jet booking, you will likely be taking off on the north side of the domestic terminal, so it is a good idea to keep this in mind to ensure you aren’t spending considerable time walking around the vast airport. If you find yourself lost in the airport, find a member of staff to help you; they will be happy to point you in the right direction.
Shuttle buses also regularly run from the car park to the airport, so you can quickly reach the terminal. ParkLong is another car park for long-term stays and is the closest to the terminal. ParkShort is ideal for short-term parking — for example, while waiting for family and friends to arrive. ParkValet is available at both terminals to take your car and find a parking spot.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Locations
Suppose you are dropping people off or picking them up at the airport. In that case, it is essential to know that there are two designated areas for the domestic and international terminals.
At the domestic terminal, there are six spaces for accessible parking located underneath the skywalk walkway a short distance from the terminal doors. If you require to be escorted into the terminal by your driver, you must have a Disability Parking Permit to use these spaces, which you can stay in for up to 30 minutes. There are also two spaces you can use, which are situated at the doors of the terminal in the taxi drop-off area. However, if you want to use these spaces, you must call ahead and book at least 24 hours in advance.
At the international terminal, there are two designated accessibility spaces located on level four on the departures road. You will also find the pick-up and drop-off zone at the front of the terminal entrance. Remember that you can only use these spaces for five minutes if you pick up or drop someone off at the airport. If you wish to be escorted into the terminal, your driver must use the short-term car park. You will also find accessible parking spaces at the international terminal on every car park floor.
When To Arrive at the Airport
To avoid the stress of rushing to make your flight, it is a good idea to get to the airport with lots of time to get through security and find your gate. For international flights, it is recommended that you check in three hours before your scheduled departure. For domestic flights, it is at least one and a half hours before your flight departs.
If you get to the airport and have some time after getting through security, several excellent facilities and services are on offer.
You can visit bars, restaurants, and cafés to have some food before you depart. In addition, you can browse a splendid variety of shops to buy some last-minute clothes or a gift for someone.
There are showers and bathrooms to freshen up before your flight, and free Wi-Fi is available to browse the internet or even do some work while you’re waiting.
