If you would like to be taken directly door to door, you’ll find a variety of rideshare providers and taxis available to pick you up in Sydney. The price will depend on the length of your trip, and the journey time will depend on traffic conditions on the day, but you can generally get to the airport in around 20min from central Sydney. The Airport Link train offers a lower-cost option for passengers in the CBD. The train departs from Central Station every 10-15min or so, and all you need to do is tap on and off with your Opal card or credit card.
Virgin Australia, Rex and Qantas offer business-class flights along this route. Rex business-class fares include a meal, checked luggage up to 32 kg and access to the Rex Lounge at Sydney Airport.

You’ll generally find taxis waiting outside Arrivals at Gold Coast Airport, and rideshare providers can be booked to meet you in the pick-up zone. Alternatively, you can find kiosks in Arrivals, where you can book an airport transfer or hire a car. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, you’ll see a bus station directly across from the pick-up zone. Route 777 will take you to Broadbeach, where you can board a tram or take another bus to your destination. If you want to reach the Gold Coast train line, the 760 bus will take you to the Varsity Lakes station.
Most economy class flights will allow passengers to check in one item of luggage that weighs up to 23 kg and bring a carry-on bag from 7 kg to 15 kg, depending on cabin class. If you are travelling with extra luggage, you can upgrade to a business-class flight, which will typically increase your luggage allowance to 32 kg. Arranging this before you fly is generally cheaper than paying the fees at the airport.
Depending on the airline, travellers are generally allowed to check in a car seat, pram or baby cot if they’re travelling with a young child. You can also bring liquids on the flight, such as milk, water and baby food.

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
They had issues with the plane prior to boarding. You could see it in the gate lounge staff. An hour after the plane was supposed to have taken off, we were still in the gate lounge, not a peep from the staff. Couldn’t seem to bring themselves to give a single verbal update. Then, they give some odd partial message verbally - plane has been downgraded. It’s not going anywhere. We need 37 people with carry on only to volunteer to go onto another flight + we’ll give you a $200 voucher - so this caused chaos, as people rushed to the desk. No mention of what those with checked baggage should do. About another 20 mins later, another lady at the desk makes a reference to going to another gate but stops mid sentence. Fed up, I approach the desk and ask if they can give some clear instructions to those that have checked baggage about what we should do. Another lady then gives a message over the PA telling those with checked baggage to go to a different gate. So we go to the new gate, spend an hour there waiting while the confusion between staff and passengers continues. Eventually board only to sit on the plane for about another hour as confused staff clearly have too many people on the plane and not enough seats. They finally figure it out and the flight leaves 3h25mins late. Things like this happen all the time I’d imagine, so you’d think dealing with it should be their bread and butter. Keep customers updated. Give clear instructions. Apologise for the delays. Not hard, but seemingly all lost on the Jetstar team that day. Pathetic.
The flight was cancelled 7 hours before it was due to fly and Jetstar said they couldn't get us on any other flight that day. We took a refund and easily booked a Virgin flight close to the time of the canvelled Jetstar flight.
Why is it so hard for Jetstar to get boarding a plane correct? In this current environment why have everyone on the plane early to just sit on the plane while they work out where their boarding system went wrong resorting to using a hand held counter to check numbers on the plane Having everyone on the plane for longer than necessary is very annoying then when arriving at the destination it takes 1/2 for ground crew handling baggage to get the bags out again this creates issues with keeping people in confined spaces longer than necessary
