Kids Travel Free
Kids aged (5-14) travel free between the Airport and City stations when accompanied by a paying adult, subsequent to the following terms.
Details of the Promotion
There is no limit to the number of children that can travel free with a paying adult. You can even take an entire school group to or from the airport accompanied by a single adult.
However, the offer is only available between the Domestic and International Airport stations and City Stations. These City Stations include Central Station, Roma Street, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, Bowen Hills, Albion, Wooloowin and Eagle Junction.
You can still purchase children's tickets at all other QR suburban stations. You'll only need to pay the cost of travel to the city, not all the way to the airport.
How to Take Up this Offer
In order to receive your free child travel, you must purchase a paper ticket at the same time as the child's from the airport or an attended QR station. Children will receive free tickets (to/from city stations) for their travel. However, each child still needs a valid ticket to travel on the QR train network.
Unattended Stations and go card
If you are travelling from a QR station that is unattended, your child's ticket needs to be purchased from a ticket vending machine. Their go card can be used as well. In this case, the fare will be for the Translink zones travelled (even from city stations). The Airtrain portion of the fare will be free of charge.
Savings on AirtrainConnect
You'll be happy to know we've reduced the rates on our AirtrainConnect service for children and families. With our family fare (2 adults and 2 children), both of the children are now free. The AirtrainConnect service involves a train transfer to the Gold Coast and a chauffeured vehicle to your Gold Coast Accommodation.
Example Fares
An adult purchases their paper ticket and a child's ticket to the Airport from the Central Station ticket office. The child's ticket would be free.
An adult or child purchases a child ticket to the Airport from a ticket vending machine at Roma Street station (or uses the child's go card). The fare value of the ticket would be for Translink zones 1-2 (Roma Street to Eagle Junction). The Airtrain fare portion is free.
A child ticket is purchased from Caboolture station to the Airport (paper ticket, ticket vending machine or go card). The fare value of the ticket would be for Translink zones 8-2 (Caboolture to Eagle Junction). The Airtrain fare portion is free.
A child ticket is purchased from Ipswich station to the Airport (paper ticket, ticket vending machine or go card). The fare value of the ticket would be for Translink zones 7-1 (Ipswich to Roma Street). The Airtrain fare portion is free.
