All About Airport Transfers

For many holiday makers, getting to their Broadbeach accommodation will involve airport transfers (shuttle service) from either the local Gold Coast airport at Coolangatta, or the Brisbane airport terminals. The trip involves time and expense that has to be considered in any holiday planning as transfer services are not included in the accommodation package.

Airport transfers generally consist of four (4) options, namely the Airtrain service, motor coach,  limousine and taxi cabs (Coolangatta only). The accommodation reservations desk will be able to advise the best options and can usually assist with airport transfer bookings for you.

Airtrain Connect   [visit website for prices and timetables]

This combined rail and road service connects Brisbane and the Gold Coast and Broadbeach holiday makers will disembark at Robina station. Rail platforms are located at the front of the Brisbane airport terminals and the service runs every 15 minutes from Brisbane and every 30 minutes from the Gold Coast.

There is a choice of a either a door-to-door ticket where the road portion of the transfer uses sedan limousines or alternately, the use of taxi cabs to and from the accommodation and Robina Station. Airtrain tickets can be booked in advance via their website and can also be purchased at the station.

Motor Coach Shuttle Services

Mini coaches provide an airport "meet 'n greet" service at both Coolangatta and Brisbane and are the most common method of airport transfer. The service provides a drop-off at the front door of the accommodation property.  Vehicles are usually fitted with a trailer for any surplus luggage.

Travel times to Brisbane Airport are approximately 2 hours from central Gold Coast and Broadbeach area. Tickets need to be booked in advance and a minimum of 48 hours notice is recommended.
