  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Brisbane Airport.

    • ibis Brisbane Airport
    • Pullman Brisbane Airport
  • There are no direct flights from London to Brisbane so your choice of airline might depend on the shortest flight time or where you would like to stop over. Emirates flies via Dubai from Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted while Cathay Pacific flies from Heathrow with a stop in Hong Kong. The Australian national carrier Qantas also flies from Heathrow. Be careful when booking your flight, as many of the airlines flying on this route have a second stop over somewhere in Australia, such as Melbourne or Cairns, before flying to Brisbane.
  • For business class passengers on Qantas wishing to get away from the hustle and bustle of Heathrow Airport before flights from London to Brisbane, there is an airline lounge situated at T3. The Qantas London Lounge is open from 8:00am until 9.15pm and can be used by Qantas First and International Business Class passengers as well as various elite cardholders belonging to Qantas, Emirates or the One World Alliance. Facilities include food, drinks and bar service, showers and toilets, and free internet and WiFi access.
  • If you have left your souvenir shopping until the last minute look no further than Australian Way – a shop that has branches at both international and domestic terminals. Here you can buy handcrafted goods as well as locally made products and any number of soft toy animals to remind you of your trip to Australia.
  • Fancy treating yourself to a local meal at one of the restaurants in Brisbane Airport as you arrive? The Glasshouse Bar is a good option as its menu has a range of dishes created with food and drink that have been sourced from local suppliers and producers. In addition to the fabulous choices on the menu you can dine with an unhindered view of the runway.
  • For those travelling with babies and/or children Brisbane Airport has parenting rooms located throughout its terminal buildings. These rooms have changing tables, feeding facilities such as high chairs, and some of them are equipped with microwaves to heat food and water. To keep older children entertained there is a permanent interactive screen through passport control where various airport-themed games can be played.
