Why Pick Brisbane Airport over Gold Coast Airport?
Brisbane is the Queensland gateway for international long haul, direct flights to LA, San Francisco, London (via Singapore or Dubai), Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and most European hubs. Gold Coast Airport is closer to Byron (100 km vs 175 km) but only offers limited international options to NZ and SE Asia. For multi leg international itineraries, BNE is often unavoidable.

⏰ NSW to QLD time zone reminder: Australian daylight saving (October to April) puts NSW one hour ahead of QLD. If you're flying out of OOL or BNE first thing, your QLD departure time looks earlier than your NSW pickup time. We coordinate both, just give us your booking time in either state and we'll lock the right pickup.
