So you could travel between Noosa and Coolangatta 46 times and it’s still cheaper than the CBD to the Airport?

These charges can fuck right off.

Here’s a sneaky way to get to the airport for 50 cents - take the train to Toombul Station or a bus to Ninth Avenue, Toombul, and take the Brisbane Airport operated shuttle bus for free. Boom - 50c!

If you’re leaving via Brisbane in daytime hours @Radiohead this hack might help

No, but good to know!

Flying out of OOL. Hoping the airport there isn’t as chaotic as last time eg. no seats, people sitting on the floor everywhere.

Coolangatta is a hellhole when it’s busy like that, hey. I used to fly out of there sometimes as an alternative to BNE as it was often a fair bit cheaper, but with the distance and the chaos it’s just not worth it. Though at least the public bus does drop you at the door.

Yes, and it wasn’t even school holidays or a weekend either. Heaven help it when it is!

Coolangatta Airport: the only place where you’re always on the winning team at Origin time.

(The roach/toad line runs straight through the runway).
