Burleigh Heads to your flight
Your Burleigh address is the pickup and Gold Coast Airport the drop-off. Gold Coast Airport's drop-off zones are at the front of the terminal, reached along Terminal Drive (Gold Coast Airport). Your airline sets the check-in and bag-drop deadlines, so choose a pickup that allows for the 17 km drive, traffic and those deadlines.
From the airport to Burleigh
When you land, the airport's kerbside pick-up zones are for immediate pick-ups only, so passengers wait at the kerb once they have their bags; parking in front of the terminal isn't allowed (Gold Coast Airport). Your confirmation gives the meeting arrangement. Enter your flight number when you book.
About Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Head National Park sits on the headland. Its Oceanview track follows the coast for about 1.2 km one way between Tallebudgera Creek and the Burleigh Heads township, and Tumgun Lookout is a vantage point for spotting humpback whales in winter and spring (Queensland Parks). The park advises walking in daylight only.

Short trip, same planning
A short transfer still benefits from booking ahead. At the airport, the kerbside zones are for immediate pick-ups only, so having a vehicle arranged with your flight number on file avoids waiting around with your bags. On the way out, a pre-booked pickup at your door means no one in your group has to drive to the airport and leave a car there.
Bags, boards and prams
Burleigh is a beach town, and holiday luggage reflects it. Count everything when you book: suitcases, cabin bags, prams and surf gear. A sedan carries two bags; a Mercedes van carries five and up to seven passengers. The booking form only offers vehicles that fit, so if you're unsure, enter the real numbers and let it choose.
Families
Add the child seats you need by type: rear-facing, forward-facing or booster. The number of child seats can't be more than the number of passengers, and any seat charge is included in the fare you see.
