The short answer: Check your terminal first. T1 and T2 are in one precinct and T3 and T4 in another, about 15 minutes apart by road, and Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia each use more than one terminal. No hotel is on the airport yet. The Redcliffe hotels are the closest, Crown Promenade is a proper hotel about 15 minutes out, and the city is 18 minutes by train from Airport Central, which serves T1 and T2 only.

|---|---|
| Terminals 1 and 2 | Terminal 1 is international and domestic, with Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Australia and most international airlines. Terminal 2 is Jetstar, Virgin Australia, Rex, Alliance, Nexus and Aerlink. Airlines can move, so check your ticket |
| Terminals 3 and 4 | Terminal 3 is Qantas and Airnorth. Terminal 4 is Qantas. Regional charters leave from General Aviation on Valentine Road. Airlines can move, so check your ticket |
