How to get from Brisbane Airport to Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, can be

Rail: The airport has two railway stations as part of a privately owned
airport rail line. The
International Airport railway station is elevated and located next to the international
terminal, as is the Domestic Airport railway station. Both stations are privately owned
and
operated by the Airtrain Citylink consortium. As a result, fares are more expensive than
a
regular suburban ticket, however, less than half the taxi fare. The Airtrain Citylink
travels via the Queensland Rail network to Fortitude Valley and the Brisbane CBD, with
most
trains continuing to the Gold Coast via South Bank.
Private Car: Brisbane Airport has four carparks, all operating 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. There
are 2
multi-level undercover car parks, the international, providing short- and long-term
services, and the domestic also provides long and short-term parking. Qantas and Virgin
Australia Airlines also offer Valet Parking at the domestic terminal only.
Public Bus: There is a free inter-terminal bus connecting the two
terminals and the nearby Skygate
shopping precinct, Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) and adjacent Novotel Brisbane Airport
hotel.
Taxis: Three cab companies operate in Brisbane: Yellow Cabs (whose
vehicles are painted orange),
Black and White Cabs and 13cabs. All three companies offer services under the same fare
system (regulated by the Queensland government). They may pick up passengers from
anywhere
in the metropolitan and regional areas of Brisbane via casual or permanent bookings. As
well
as standard taxis, both provide Maxi-Taxis designed to accommodate up to 10 people and
with
disability access. They also operate luxury vehicles (Silver Service for Yellow,
Business
Class for Black and White). All cabs now are also fitted with GPS tracking systems for
driver location and have debit/credit card EFTPOS facilities.
