Want to save money and know you'll reach the airport on time? Airtrain is the answer. Tickets are sold to and from every station in Brisbane and Gold Coast. Using Airtrain you have certainty of knowing how much the fare costs and when you'll reach the airport.
If you have visiting friends and family simply drop them at your local station rather than spending hours battling Brisbane's traffic congestion to reach the airport. Airtrain stations are conveniently located directly outside the domestic and international airport terminals.
What are your options when travelling to the airport? You could catch a taxi, you could drive yourself, you could ask a friend or family member to give you a lift. Now, what do all of these have in common? Expensive & time consuming!
If you are arriving at the airport and travelling to a suburban station, you can book your travel online. Both single and return tickets can be booked. If you are starting your journey at any other station except the airport, you will need to purchase your ticket upon arrival at the station.
Taxis are expensive, and you still run the risk of possible delays due to traffic congestion. The ever-increasing price of petrol and the cost of parking make driving yourself an expensive option indeed. Getting a lift from a friend or family member is cost effective for you, but what a hassle for them. They'd be better off dropping you at the closest train station knowing that the trains will get you there on time.
