Choose who is right for you cost & comfort all airlines have issues with delays at times so cant be helped some days I usually fly early and have rarely had issues
RubyFlew with Virgin Australia-Nov 2024
Brisbane airport is under renovation. The toilets just out of the gate only have 4 available. Walk for a few minutes and there's much better facilities near the food court.
Verified travelerFlew with Virgin Australia-June 2024
Make sure you check the weight of the suitcases and the carryons get added together so you have to pay a lot of money.

Board early; don’t rely on announcements that never come; ensure personal items are ina bag that can fit under your seat!

Your questions about flights to Brisbane, answered

Find helpful route details based on KAYAK data, including flight times, airports, airlines, and booking questions.

  • What accessible facilities are there at Brisbane Airport?

    You can go online prior to your trip and download the Accessibility Journey Planner to make your arrival at Brisbane Airport smooth and easy. Brisbane Airport is well equipped with lifts and travelators, and there are accessible drinking fountains dotted throughout the terminals. There are accessible toilets as well as adult changing place facilities. If you need buggy assistance, please alert your airline before you travel.

  • What facilities are there for people with hidden disabilities at Brisbane Airport?

    Sometimes people have a disability that is not immediately apparent. Brisbane Airport caters for this by providing sunflower or iceberg lanyards as a discrete way to indicate to staff that a passenger may need extra assistance or time with procedures. These are available every day of the week from 07:00-19:00 at the Visitor Information Centre in the domestic terminal, on Level 1. Other airports that use the sunflower lanyard program are Sydney Airport (SYD) and Melbourne Airport (MEL), so you can keep your lanyard to reuse, if you fly into these cities.

  • Are there on-site airport hotels at Brisbane Airport?

    Yes, Novotel Brisbane Hotel is located near both terminals and it is possible to take a transfer bus to get there with heavy suitcases. There is also Pullman Brisbane Airport Hotel, a short walk from the Domestic Terminal, and next to it the budget-friendly ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel.

  • What are the transport options to and from Brisbane Airport?

Using the shuttle bus service is a convenient option if you want to be dropped off at your hotel, and is especially helpful if you arrive late at night. There are also taxis available 24/7; the fare from the airport to the city centre costs around $45 to $55.

  • Does Brisbane Airport offer free Wi-Fi?

  • Can I rent a car at Brisbane Airport?

Your guide to booking Brisbane flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Brisbane, aim to book around 6 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 22% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Brisbane, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to be around $237 return. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a good deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, aim to travel to Brisbane in January. Return fares historically average $275 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to morning to save up to $62 per return. Morning flights to Brisbane average $337 compared to $399 for evening flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class, and route. On flights to Brisbane, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Jetstar includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, Virgin Australia includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, and Qantas Airways includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • Once you arrive in Brisbane, a few great places to start are Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Suncorp Stadium, and Roma Street Parkland. These are popular with first-time visitors and can give you a good feel for the area.
  • If you are flying into Brisbane International Airport (BNE) from overseas, you can prearrange your currency exchange online and pick up your Australian dollars from the currency exchange at the airport.
  • Each year, Brisbane Airport has an Artist in Residence. Look out for unique art pieces, exhibitions or performances dotted around the terminal.
  • If you need to wait during a layover at Brisbane Airport and you’d like to do a bit of shopping, Skygate is a retail and entertainment complex close to the airport, with luggage storage and a free shuttle bus from the terminal. You can shop, dine, play mini-golf and try the flying trapeze if you dare.
  • If you are getting picked up from Brisbane Airport by family or friends, ParkShort is a good short-term option for parking. Be sure to tell them to book online to get a discounted rate.
  • To make the travelling experience easier for parents and kids, Brisbane Airport is equipped with parents’ rooms that include changing tables, high chairs and microwaves to warm up baby food. For older children there are play areas where they can play interactive games.

  • If you want to freshen up after a long flight to Brisbane, there are free shower facilities available at both terminals – you just need to bring your own toiletries to enjoy a shower.
  • Feeling tense after your flight to Brisbane? Book an appointment at Plaza Premium Wellness Spa, located in the International Terminal, where you can get a massage or foot therapy.

Fantastic staff and plane Only issue was flying out from terminal 2 at Perth nothing was open to get food or drink, we were there 3 hours early with 2 kids and not prepared to not be able to purchase food or drinks. Having self check in and bag drop would be wonderful too, as we had to wait for staff to arrive to check in despite checking in online the day before . Nothing major but would have made a great trip fantastic!

Enjoyed the comfort of the seats, slight delay to departure time but prompt takeoff and landing.

It asks about entertainment tho it’s not applicable. 10/10 for Rex 👌🏻

Not sure how to answer on the entertainment as there wasn’t any.. Comfort, I wasn’t comfortable as I was on the window side and a morbidly obese man sat in the middle and eased out into my space. I had sciatica so I wasn’t able to move much to get comfortable. Food wise I have a wheat allergy and asked if there was a gluten free option and was given a Byron bay cookie which was lovely tho it wasn’t wheat free. Not to worry. I wasn’t expecting there to be any appropriate snacks for me anyhow. The staff were very generous with the snacks and their concern for the passengers. The staff were amazing tho. Truly amazing ! One of the staff must have noticed my discomfort and helped me out to stand in the back of the plane to stretch which I really appreciated. I would fly with REX again without hesitation. Thank you very much. It was my first flight with you and I look forward to my return flight home on Tuesday. Best wishes to your company 👌🏻

All good, was a one hour flight so no food or entertainment which was expected

Rex is an underrated airline. Its my first time flying them and they were fantastic. the only things that annoyed me about my flight were things other passengers did so it was nothing i or REX could change

Really enjoyed flying with Rex the boarding and booking baggage on was easier than most. I will beat using Rex next time.

On time and a quick flight and staff vert good

Our 6.30am flight was boarded then cancelled to fly at 10.55am . We were flying to Brisbane to attend a funeral at 12 noon an hour away . This means missing the funeral due to unreliability of Virgin . Unimpressed !!

Virgin has always provided a smooth and comfortable flight. This one was no different. Seats are comfortable. Staff are great. This is my favourite airline.

Virgin changed the flight to an Alliance flight. Smaller plane, tea coffee and water the only refreshments available and not sure what happened to the extra money I paid to sit in a selected seat with extra leg room. This is obviously a regular switch as it happened on our flight there and back. Do not recommend.

Cramped, crowded flight, with no complimentary food except coffee, tea, or water.

The flight was delayed by 45 minutes, but boarding, actual flight, and crew were great. However, there was Zero free food and only water, tea, or coffee to drink. Everything else was for sale. No onboard entertainment but it was a short flight.

Boarding took place at the front and back. Weight of luggage was unclear and cost an arm and a leg.

Last 10 minutes boarding they canceled the flight and didn’t organise anything

Flight was cancelled and the next available flight they could get me on was 18:30 that night. I was travelling up for a conference so needed to be in Brisbane by 12:00 at the latest. I had to rebook with another carrier and I've had to follow up three times about the refund for this flight. The flight I rebooked cost over $400.

Flight was cancelled 3 hours prior to departure and rebooked for 10 hours later. Had to cancel rebooked flight and was lucky enough that work could book with QANTAS around the same time.

If it wasn’t delayed over 2 hours and then asked people to volunteer to go tomorrow.

I liked the refreshments as the flight was short and the free WiFi. The seats were comfortable.

I never flew with alliance. Kayak is a joke and none of the flights or times were correct. Won’t ever use kayak again

My experience was great overall. Tanya was particularly friendly and helpful the entire trip. I was very pleased with her customer service skills. The plane was an older aircraft but the entire way was comfortable with barely any turbulence at all. Qantas should speed up its fleet renovation. Totally recommend using this airline.

Flight was canceled. I was not alerted. It was only kayak that alerted me

I love flying with Qantas. There was no onscreen entertaining on this flight, and only a snack provided (not a meal) but still better than Jetstar or Virgin (in my opinion) so still happy.

Wheelchair assistance to move through the terminals and to/from the plane door was excellent. No vegan snack on the flight, only something with salami and cheese in it.

Boarding was over 3 hrs late and we didn’t land until almost 1:30am

It’s a very long flight and there are so many people on board. Perhaps a warm washcloth now and then to freshen up

Good. BUT the Kayak app kept sending me wrong messages saying that there was a Gate change. That same thing is happening today.

Grubby plane, dirty seat & table, poor food, wait for baggage, staff ok.

Flight was fine with boarding starting a few minutes early. Not a fan of the crew pushing political messaging regarding indigenous naming of Brisbane city… really pushed it like I haven’t heard on Jetstar before.

Flight was delayed both directions but once in the air was ok. Boarding out of Melbourne is just a mess.

Excellent help with Wife needing disability access at Brisbane airport

The good thing is that the flight got us from Darwin to Brisbane. However, it would have to be the most uncomfortable flight I have ever taken and if I can possibly avoid flying Jetstar again, I will.

15kg allowance is outrageous. Change of time a few days before departure and more than 2 hours of delay in the end. The worse we’ve taken so far in Oceania.

Fabulous I have no issues with JetStar great service always use them to fly

Flight was as expected - we got what we paid for which was a base fare

Plane was delayed both on arrival to Sydney and departure. We boarded the plane while it was in the process of being refuelled, which I am certain is against CASA regulations. Comfort for anyone over 6 foot is non existent.

a constant reminder that you need to work harder so you can avoid this airline

Worst airline ever. No need to go into detail as everything is terrible. Do not do it - whatever the price.
