First Time in Brisbane Airport? Then Read This Ultimate Guide
There’s this thing about airports that is just so mesmerizing – the overwhelming feeling that after just a few hours of flight, you are in another country, one that is so different from the one you just came from. The people and your surroundings all look different, yet you feel so fulfilled, happy, and excited.
Travelling is a huge thing these days, as people do it to destress or just get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives, even just for a few days or so. This is the main reason why airports play such a big part when it comes to travelling, as layovers and long haul flights can be a hassle if it is not that organized.
Brisbane Airport is one of those that you can comfortably spend the night in, especially if you’ve booked a long haul flight. Here are some of the amazing amenities that you can expect when landing:
1. Spacious Pay-Per-Use Lounges
The pay-per-use lounges are open to any type of traveller – whether you’re flying first, business, or economy class. You do not even have to have an airline loyalty, all you have to do is pay a small amount for your stay, and you can sit back and relax!

2. Free WiFi and Internet
Not just your typical WiFi, though – they offer pretty fast internet connection, too. An email address is required to sign in, and any personal email address would do. Virgin Australia and Qantas offers their own WiFi services, so if you flew in with those airlines, you can ask the attendants at the lounges and gate areas how to connect to it.
3. Baby Care Facilities
If you’re travelling with a baby, then there is no need to worry, as the airport has 9 parenting rooms located in the International and Domestic terminals. They offer a private feeding room, change benches, and microwaves.
4. Nearby Airport Parking
If you have friends in the city and you’re all planning to go out of the country, may it be for leisure or business, then you can tell them to park their cars in an off-site parking at Brisbane Airport. It’s much less expensive than taxis and Uber, plus it’s more convenient and safer.

5. Digital Departure Cards
While we are on the topic of leaving the airport, then we might as well talk about one thing that’s definitely a breakthrough for Brisbane Airport – digital departure cards. It’s a smart phone app, and is being offered to international travellers. This allows passengers to digitally fill out their information even before arriving at the airport – which saves a lot of time!
6. Charge Bikes
Gym buffs, rejoice! You can now charge your phone while being healthy and fit – how, you ask? There’s this new thing at the airport where you can charge your mobile phones by pedalling hard enough. Charge bike kiosks are located all over the area, and you should definitely try one today! Not only do you get your mobile phone fully recharged, you also get to be fit and healthy even without a gym in sight!
7. Showers and Massage Chairs
If you want to freshen up after a long flight, then go ahead and use the free showers. You can even have a massage right after for a minimal cost!
Never forget to take pictures, as Brisbane airport is one of the most beautiful in the World. Enjoy and have a safe flight!
