Airport Information

Airport Information

©Switzerland Tourism, Nicola FuererJan Geerk

We've outlined below what you can expect on arrival at Brisbane Airport's International Terminal.

Before you fly

Check if you require a visa for your stay in Australia.

Airports are busy environments and for some people this can be a stressful experience. If you or someone you are travelling with has a hidden disability, you can request a sunflower lanyard to wear through Brisbane Airport. Learn more about the Hidden Disabilities program here.

On arrival

Passport control

Passengers will proceed to immigration and passport control for SmartGate or manual processing.

You can use a SmartGate, if you:

  • Hold an e-passport issued from an eligible country; and
  • Are 16 years or over; and
  • Have completed an Incoming Passenger Card. (this will be handed out onboard the aircraft shortly before your arrival).

The Arrivals SmartGate uses facial recognition technology to provide travellers with a more efficient way of passing through Passport Control.  If you’re not eligible to use SmartGate, an Australian Border Force Officer at Passport Control will manually process your entry into Australia.

All passengers will be issued with a Passport Control ticket. You will be required to present your ticket to officers at Biosecurity and Customs before exiting the Terminal.

Collect your checked baggage

Proceed to the arrivals hall to collect your baggage.  Check the flight arrivals screens for your flight number and allocated baggage carousel.

Complimentary luggage trolleys are available for your use at the International Terminal.

Biosecurity and customs

To help protect Australia’s pristine environment, Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and Australian Border Force Officers screen all incoming international passengers and their belongings.

Your bags may be checked by Australian Border Force and/or Department of Agriculture Biosecurity Officers, who work with Brisbane Airport to detect prohibited, restricted or dutiable goods, and biosecurity risk items such as animal and plant material.

It is mandatory to declare certain items on your Incoming Passenger Card, and penalties may apply for failing to do so.

Australian Border Force and/or Department of Agriculture Biosecurity Officers’ checks may take the form of:

  • X-ray
  • Detector Dogs
  • Physical inspection

For more information on the border processes, what you need to declare and what can and can’t be brought into Australia, please consult:

  • Department of Home Affairs
  • Department of Agriculture and Water Resources

Use of cameras and mobile phones

Passengers may use their cameras or mobile phones unless:

  • they are undergoing a clearance process
  • they are asked not to by a Border Force officer.​

Transport

With the domestic and international airports just 15km from Brisbane City, you can jump on Brisbane Airtrain and be in the heart of the city in just 20 minutes. Getting around is a breeze, with a free City Loop bus and river ferry services – see getting around for additional transportation details.

Airtrain

To access the Airtrain station, take the lift to level 3, exit the terminal and cross the bridge to the station. Train services run every 15 minutes during peak times and every 30 minutes off-peak periods. Airtrain also connects into the Queensland Rail suburban network.

Taxi

Taxis are available 24/7 and operate from the taxi rank on Level 2 Arrivals Road, through the doors and out to the left.

Rideshare & Uber

Simply order your rideshare using your preferred app and follow the signs to the designated Rideshare Booking areas to meet with your driver.

Ride-shares are collecting passengers from the ground transport area. Head LEFT as you come out of customs into the arrivals area and follow the signs to ride-booking, buses and coaches through the door at the end of the building and down the ramp.

Getting Around

Getting Around

©Switzerland Tourism, Nicola FuererJan Geerk

Getting around is a breeze, with a free City Loop bus and river ferry services – see below for details. The City is a dream destination of cool bars, hot restaurants, big-name retail brands and incredible experiences. It’s also Brisbane’s buzzing business hub with thousands of workers streaming into The City daily. Whether you’re driving, walking, riding or catching public transport, its central location and connected transport network make visiting The City for work or play a breeze.

Public transport

Brisbane’s public transport system stretches to every corner of the city with busways, train lines and ferry services all passing through The City. While cash is acceptable on many services, the easiest, cheapest and most efficient way to pay is by purchasing a go card. These public transport passports only need $5 credit (and a refundable deposit of $10 for adults, $5 concession) and you’re ready to go. You can top up your go card balance online, over the phone, at fare machines at major bus and train stations or at more than 1000 retailers in south-east Queensland.

You can buy go cards at:

  • Queensland Rail Station ticket offices
  • On board Brisbane City Council CityCat and Ferries
  • Fare machines at G:link and busway stations
  • Selected retailers where you see the 'buy' symbol

If you travel outside of peak commute times, you can save money with cheaper ticket prices. These times are:

  • Weekdays: 8.30am–3.30pm and 7pm–3am the next day
  • Weekends: all day
  • State-wide Queensland gazetted public holidays: all day

Visit Translink’s Journey Planner to check timetables and pricing.

Bus

Brisbane’s buses are frequent, reliable and cover much of the city’s inner and outer suburbs. Bus stations at King George Square and Queen Street are major hubs connecting commuters with The City.

How to pay: go card or cash which is accepted on most services, except those that are marked prepaid only. These services will include a ‘P’ at the front of the service number.

Train

There are two major stations in The City – Central Station and Roma Street Station – and all inbound trains travel through these. If you’re looking to get to the Queen Street Mall or access the eastern parts of the city then disembark at Central Station.

How to pay: go card or cash

CityCat, CityHopper and ferries

Brisbane is the river city so what better way to experience The City than along the weaving and winding bends of the Brisbane River? CityCats travel between St Lucia in the south and Northshore Hamilton in the north, seven days a week with weekday services more frequent. The CityHopper travels between inner-city stations including South Bank, Kangaroo Point and New Farm. Cross-river ferries operate between cross points including Bulimba to Teneriffe, Kangaroo Point to Eagle Street and Norman Park to New Farm.

How to pay: go card or cash. The City Hopper is free.

Private transport

Taxi

Black and White Cabs and 13cabs service the greater Brisbane area and its surrounds.

How to pay: cash, eftpos, credit card and Cabcharge.

Rideshare

Use your smartphone to order a ride with one of the many rideshare services operating in Brisbane including Uber, DiDi, Ola and Shebah. Be mindful of any restrictions on busy City streets and always meet your driver at the recommended pick-up location.

How to pay: Through rideshare apps

Active transport

Get on your bike or hire an e-scooter

Riding along the river on one of The City’s cycleways or mixed-use paths is one of Brisbane’s best experiences. If you don’t have a bike or scooter of your own, hire one of the 2800 e-bikes and e-scooters stationed across The City. Download the Neuron or Beam smartphone app, register your details and pick up an e-bike or e-scooter from an e-mobility hub or virtual parking zone. Don't forget that helmets are mandatory so strap one on your head before setting off.

How to pay: Through Neuron or Beam smartphone apps

Walk

Hit your daily step goal by strolling into The City. The pedestrian-friendly city centre is lined with beautiful walkways with the most popular being the Toowong, New Farm, South Bank and West routes that provide delightful river breezes and stunning city vistas.

Drive, park and save

If you’re taking in the sights or meeting friends for a catch-up, there’s a parking deal sure to save you time and money.
