British Airways flights to Brisbane land eight miles northeast of Brisbane’s city centre at Brisbane Airport.

Or go for a walk after your Brisbane flight and follow the floating River Walk in the New Farm area. Take a high-speed CityCat ferry along the Brisbane River, then ease into the evening at a trendy bar in the Fortitude Valley area.
It takes just 22 minutes to reach central Brisbane by train after Brisbane flights land. You can also catch a coach to the city centre and to major Brisbane hotels after your flight to Brisbane. Coaches run into central Brisbane every 30 minutes from Brisbane Airport. Taxis are plentiful at Brisbane Airport and they’ll get you to Brisbane’s city centre in around 25 minutes after your Brisbane flight.
Brisbane is easy to get around, so put on your walking shoes and stretch your legs after your flight to Brisbane. Start at South Bank’s city beach, shops and restaurants, then catch a concert at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. Or stroll along the mangrove boardwalk at Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and make your way to the shops and cafes of the funky Fortitude Valley area. When you catch your flight from Brisbane back home make room in your suitcase for cutting-edge designer fashion from Fortitude Valley, homespun crafts from South Bank and Australian t-shirts and Aboriginal crafts from Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall.
