Parking at Brisbane Airport
You’re flying from Brisbane Airport (BNE) soon. You might be meeting mates in Sydney. Off to see your auntie in Adelaide. Or attending a class reunion in Canberra. No matter your plans, driving to BNE is a good move and we’ve got all the info you need to find the best parking for your needs. Whether you’re flying for business or pleasure, and driving a coupe or kombi, there’s a space at BNE to suit.
And a well-appointed airport is probably what you’d expect in such a brilliant city as Brisbane. The capital of Queensland, this cool city has a bit of everything – from beautiful beaches and shady vineyards to tasty restaurants and bustling bars. And the surrounding area is stunning too. In the Darling Downs you’ll encounter the history and culture of the Jarowair and Giabal people, as well as trendy cafes and independent boutiques in hotspots like Toowoomba.
If you’re driving in from out of town, there’s lots to see and do if you can spare some time to see a bit of Australia’s third-largest city. For starters, you can browse one of the local farmers markets and pick up all manner of fresh fruit, including oven-fresh pastries and farm-fresh fruit – West End Market and Global Food Markets in nearby Woodridge are two of the best. Meanwhile, South Bank Parklands has a lovely palm-fringed swimming lagoon and beautiful blue waters. Other highlights include the magnificent Morans Falls in Lamington National Park, stunning Curtis Falls in Tambourine Mountain National Park and Lake Samsonvale in the Moreton Bay Region.
Back in the city proper, you can take a free clock tower tour up Brisbane City Hall, visit boutique breweries like Newstead Brewing and Ballistic Beer Co, and immerse yourself in live music at The Triffid and The Tivoli.
se to Giant Pandas, kangaroos and wallabies at Adelaide Zoo. If you fancy a spending spree meanwhile, Adelaide is a bit of a shopper’s paradise. Rundle Mall has 700 shops and boutiques on one handy strip, Adelaide Central Market has fresh local produce, and Better World Arts showcases unique cross-cultural creative work from local and international artists.Find the best deals at Brisbane Airport
Driving to Brisbane Airport is all well and good. But when you start to look for the best BNE parking deals, you might regret your choice at first – because the sheer choice of parking is a little overwhelming.
And even once you can rank what the cheapest deals are, you won’t know whether they’re a good fit unless they match your requirements. For instance, if you’re travelling with young kids, chances are you’ll want another type of parking space than a solo business traveller who, in turn, might prefer a different type of parking than a group of mates off on a stag or hen weekend.
Compare parking at Brisbane Airport
The parking provision at BNE is great and there’s something to suit every traveller.
And perfecting the pre-flight experience is something this airport has to take seriously, when you consider it processed 2.57 million international passengers in the last reporting year, with 398 average weekly aircraft movements. And on top of that, BNE served 14.6 million domestic travellers, with 2,591 average weekly domestic movements.
The history of air travel in Brisbane stretches back to 1925, when the city’s first airport was built at Eagle Farm, an agricultural area 6km outside the city. Legendary aviator Charles Kingsford Smith landed here in 1928 after completing the first trans-Pacific flight and during WWII, Allied Forces top brass Commander Douglas MacArthur was based here.
From the 1960s onwards, authorities realised Eagle Farm could no longer cope with demand which would only increase as Brisbane itself expanded. Construction of a new airport started in 1980 and the doors opened in 1988.
Expansion continued apace in subsequent years – most recently in the completion of a new runway in 2020.

Facilities at Brisbane Airport
As you’d expect, Brisbane Airport is rather well set up.
If you need cash, there are ATMs throughout the Domestic and International Terminals – before security and airside.
There’s no need to lug your luggage everywhere either – grab a trolley for free in the International Terminal and for a small (refundable) fee in the Domestic Terminal. If your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or any other essential electronic device is running into the red, recharge it at one of the BNE charging stations, by the Food Courts at the Domestic Terminal and at Arrivals and Departures in the International Terminal.
Need to change money? Travelex will sort you out, with 60 currencies available (we didn’t even know there were so many).
When you want a pre-flight environment that’s a little more luxurious than the concourse, chill out in the Plaza Premium Lounge and My Lounge – both in the International Terminal and available on a pay-per-use basis.
There are also parenting rooms located throughout the airport. Busy mums and dads can use baby change facilities, feeding chairs and microwaves to heat little ones’ snacks.
Need some quiet space to pray or just meditate about life? There’s a prayer room at level 4 of the International Terminal and level 2 of the Domestic Terminal. And when you want to freshen up, jump in the shower at the central terminal level 2 and the central terminal satellite, near Gate 26. Remember to take your clothes off before you hop in though!
And how about if you’re hungry or your credit card’s burning a hole in your pocket? Grab some healthy fare like avocado on toast at the Aviation Pier Café & Bar, top up your antioxidants at Boost Juice, or treat yourself to a juicy burger at Carl’s Jr.
Finally, at the well-stocked Duty Free, grab high-end gifts for great prices – it’s the perfect place to pick up a last-minute anniversary gift for your better half, for example. Don’t worry – we won’t tell them you forgot.
