All Brisbane Airport workers tickets are available for travel between the Brisbane Airport stations and the following Brisbane City stations: South Brisbane, Roma Street, Central, Fortitude Valley, Bowen Hills, Albion, Wooloowin, and Eagle Junction. Travel beyond these stations will require an additional ticket which can be purchased from your local Queensland Rail station or the Airtrain stations.

Travelling on staff tickets

You must have a valid ticket each time you travel on the train, and present the ticket when entering and exiting the train station. Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be used by another person. Digital workers tickets MUST be scanned when entering and exiting at the International and Domestic Airport stations.

Paper Weekly tickets and Book of 20 tickets for Brisbane Airport Workers are only available at the International and Domestic Airport stations (with Paper Weekly tickets also available at Central Station). It is your responsibility to ensure you have a valid train ticket prior to arriving at the Airport stations. Failure to do so will result in a full adult fare from CBD station being charged on top of any tickets you wish to purchase.
