Q. What is the fastest way to travel between the Domestic and International Terminals?

A: At Brisbane Airport, the International and Domestic Terminals are separated, located almost three kilometres apart. Given the frequency of the Airtrain schedule, the easiest and fastest way to travel between the two terminals is by train. The journey time is only two minutes between terminals (AU$5 one-way).

 

If you are travelling on connecting Virgin Australia flights (meaning both domestic and international travel on Virgin Australia flights), a train transfer between terminals is provided at no charge to you. You are required to collect your bags from the carousel and clear Customs and Quarantine. After entering the Arrivals Hall, turn right and walk to the Domestic Transfer Desk. If you are booked on formal codeshare flights (one ticket for the entire journey) check in for your domestic flight at a Virgin Australia check-in counter. Here you will receive an Airtrain pass, to use to transfer to the Domestic Terminal. Upon arriving at the Domestic Terminal, make your way to your departure gate.

 

The flights must be on the same carrier to/from each terminal. You will need to show your airline boarding pass when you arrive at either terminal. If you're travelling with different carriers, the fare is AU$5.

Q. What is your cancel or refund policy on booking online?

You may cancel for any reason and obtain a refund at any time, up to 24 hours before the start of the booking period. By logging into your account and selecting the relevant options. Refunds can only be refunded if your booking was completed using your own credit card.

 

If you do not have an online account or you have been unable to successfully cancel your booking via your online account, then you may cancel your booking by emailing park@bne.com.au and providing your full name, address, and booking confirmation number or calling our customer service operator at (07) 3406 3228 at any time up to 24 hours before the start of the booking period.
