It's easy to travel to Melbourne Airport (MEL) from the city centre. You could get a taxi from your doorstep, which will get you to the terminal in about 30min if you're near the city centre. The SkyBus is also a popular option, and it takes about 45min to arrive at the airport. This is great for those travelling on a budget as it's cheaper than a taxi. If you're driving, then you can take advantage of the long term car park at the airport, where you can leave your vehicle in a secure environment. When you land at Brisbane Airport (BNE), you can also easily get to the city centre. A taxi takes about 20min and is great if you want to go to your accommodation directly. You can also opt for a train from the terminal building to downtown Brisbane, which takes around 20min. The Con-X-ion shuttle bus runs from the airport to the city in about 50min, dropping off at various locations. Which cities can you get to from Brisbane? Not only is Brisbane Airport close to the city centre, but it's also good for visiting nearby places too. You can travel to the Gold Coast in about 1h by car or 1h and 50min by train. The Sunshine Coast is approximately 1h away if you drive or 2h and 20min if you take a train. Whilst Toowoomba is around a 1h and 35-minute car journey from the terminal building or about 2h and 15min by bus. A good way to travel is by car, so it might be worth hiring a vehicle from the airport when you arrive. If you plan to visit somewhere further afield, such as Sydney, you might want to take a domestic flight as it takes around 1h and 25min. This same journey by public transport would take around 15h if you took the train or 18h by bus. By car, this route would probably have a total journey time of around 10h.
