Broome is served by Broome Airport, also commonly referred to as Broome. The airport code is BME.
Broome Airport is the busiest airport in the Kimberly region of Western Australia, and is primarily used by holiday makers looking to enjoy the Indian Ocean or the surrounding sand dunes. Broome is also a gateway to nearby towns such as Roebuck (20min drive inland), Minyirr (20min drive south), or Waterbank (20min drive north). For those travelling to this area, Broome International Airport is the best option, with the next closest airport located a 4h drive away at Fitzroy Crossing.
The airport is located within a 15min walk to downtown Broome, making it very easily accessible to the city. Alternatively, the Broome Explorer Bus can help you explore the city and surrounding areas with stops around Old Town Broome, Chinatown, and Cable Beach. You can purchase a 24h pass for A$ 15. Buses from the airport bus stop leave every 30min in the Boulevard Shopping area just outside the terminal.
If you need to store your luggage while you explore Broome, there are Baggage Locker Storage facilities near the 2h car park at the end of the administration building. Prices for the lockers start at A$ 8 and the lockers are cash only. You can store your luggage for up to 7 days, however, there are no lockers for oversized items such as surfboards or bikes.
If you’re exploring Broome and the surrounding Kimberley region by car, there are a number of car hire kiosks found at the Arrivals Terminal. Companies include Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and Thrifty. You can find the parks for the rental cars just opposite the terminal entrance down McPherson Street. The rental car kiosks are generally open from 9:00–18:00, however, hours may decrease during the off-season.
For those meeting friends and family at the airport, you can find the pick-up/drop-off ring just outside the Departure Terminal. However, drivers cannot stop for more than 2min and cannot leave the vehicle for security reasons. Alternatively, there is short-term parking near the Airport Terminal, however, parking charges apply. Parking fees can be paid for at the stands as you exit the terminal.

Pros: "great crew"
Cons: "flight delayed - but that happens..."
Pros: "Staff were friendly"

Pros: "Lovely staff"
Cons: "Entertainment"

Cons: "Smallish serves of food (dinner & light breakfast) for a long flight"

Cons: "My kayak app wasn’t updated to the correct flight time so they had to put me on the last flight to Melbourne that would make it. Thankfully quantas is awesome and got it done."

Pros: "Arrived alive."
Cons: "Sketchy plane. Too many speed changes. Left late."
Cons: "My family of 4 were not seated together even though all four tickets were purchased together in the same booking. After booking through KAYAK for flights, the on-line check-in process was a nightmare with the KAYAK booking number not matching the information required by QANTAS. As my children were all spread over the plane, and two son's look very similar, a hostess almost did not serve one of my son's a meal as she believed my son had already received a meal further forward in the plane. Thankfully, upon checking, the hostess realised that it was a case of mistaken identity."
Pros: "I’ve taken Qantas once before and it made my trip from the US ato AU so much more relaxing. I just took Qantas again and was even more blown away with everything. The crew members are extremely nice and are always present to help you with something you may need."

Pros: "Landing"

Pros: "Love going to Yancey when we are pushed by the tail winds!"
Cons: "Breakfast was dire"
Pros: "Upon confirming my flight I had received a middle seat. When I got to Sydney I was able to talk a host at the gate to see if she can move to an aisle seat. She did and it was at the front of the row with plenty of leg room. I couldn’t have asked for a better flight home."
Cons: "The mess other passengers made. Have some respect for yourself and the stewardess. I could only imagine the home some of these people Live in."

After about the 3rd time i almost landed in the back of the seat infront of me. I had words and he moved. Couldnt put seat back as not enough room. Got off jet with neck cramped...got on jet via rear door after walk and wait about 10 minutes on hot tarnac with sun belting into back of the unfortunate rear seaters...hostess apologised but i felt sorry for any older/ sick people.

Pros: "Everything was GREAT"
Cons: "Fud"
Pros: "The lumbar support in the Virgin seat makes all the difference, plus the info re toilets, either get up now or wait till food service stops, and the instruction to put seat in upright position for eating much appreciated. I also LOVED the unexpected brilliant in-house video of psychology. Dr Andrew Ley(?) Food was great, nothing ridiculous, hot tasty and healthy. I liked there was no over packaging that took up my tray table room. Jetstar is a torture chamber with those seats that cause your back to curl over."

Cons: "The people who were working at the front desk at check in seemed to be very inconvenienced by the fact I was checking into my flight, which seems like it's supposed to be their jobs, if I'm not mistaken. I had golf clubs and was told to wait at a desk were I stood for 10 mins while a woman looked at the computer, not looking up from it in the whole time. There was another lady checking clubs too, and you would thing it was the fist time they had ever had to check golf clubs into a flight; I assume that's not true."
Pros: "Service was great, aircraft okay"
Cons: "Would have liked a charging point on such a long flight."
Cons: "I could not find anywhere on your website to either cancel the flight or re-schedule for after I'd recovered from a ruptured appendix operation. I won't therefore be using kayak again to book airfares."

Cons: "The lack of food options."
Cons: "Virgin bumped my family (myself, wife, 11yo son) from flight due to a downsize in aircraft. Only notification was email at 11pm previous evening, which we didn't see. We arrived at airport to find out we were ticketed on flight leaving 10:55PM rather than 11:35AM, and new flight routed through Sydney rather than non-stop. Virgin offered no compensation for getting us to Melbourne a day late on a worse flight. Would not pay for hotel for a stay overnight in Perth to take alternative flight in morning."

Pros: "Fantastic service!"
Cons: "Delay was not appreciated with a fidgety 2 year old"
