Airtrain
Brisbane’s International and Domestic Airports are located approximately 15 – 20 minutes (20km) from the city centre and the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. Airtrain is the fastest, cheapest and most reliable way to travel from Brisbane Airport to the centre of Brisbane and return. 

Save on a taxi fare, whilst reducing your carbon footprint. Airtrain services run every 15 minutes in peak hours, and every 30 minutes outside of these hours – the express, air-conditioned journey takes only 20 minutes.

The airport stations are located directly outside the Domestic and International terminals and connect with five Brisbane CBD stations covering the majority of downtown Brisbane.

The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is located directly behind South Brisbane station. Train tickets are open for 2 hours, so delegates can disembark the train, check into a hotel then continue their journey all on one ticket if they wish.
