Why fly from Gold Coast Airport?
Sometimes the flight you want, the fare you found or the airline you prefer leaves from Gold Coast Airport rather than Brisbane. A private transfer makes that practical from the city: one vehicle, door to terminal, with your bags in the back and no connections to make.
Departing from Gold Coast Airport
Gold Coast Airport says its passenger drop-off zones are at the front of the terminal, reached by following the signs along Terminal Drive (Gold Coast Airport). Your airline sets the check-in and bag-drop deadlines, so choose a pickup in Brisbane that allows for the 103 km drive, traffic and those deadlines.
Landing at Gold Coast Airport
When you land and head for Brisbane, the pickup is at the airport. The airport's kerbside zones at the front of the terminal are for immediate pick-ups only, so passengers need to be waiting at the kerb, and parking directly in front of the terminal isn't allowed (Gold Coast Airport). Your confirmation gives your meeting arrangement. Enter your flight number when you book.

Planning a flight from the southern airport
Booking a Gold Coast Airport departure from Brisbane comes down to three numbers: the distance, your airline's deadlines and your luggage. The distance is fixed at 103 km from Brisbane City by our booking system. The deadlines are on your airline booking: check-in and bag-drop close a set time before departure. Work back from the earliest of those, then add time for the drive and for traffic at that hour.
Luggage and vehicle choice
Count every suitcase, carry-on and bulky item when you book. A sedan carries two bags, so two travellers with large cases and cabin bags may already need a van. A Mercedes V-Class or Vito-Tourer carries five bags and up to seven passengers. The booking form only shows vehicles that fit what you enter, which saves a surprise at the kerb.
Returning to Brisbane
If you'll land back at Gold Coast Airport at the end of your trip, choose Return when you book. Your return pickup is at the airport, so enter your arrival flight number; the fare for that leg was $269 in a sedan on the date we checked.
