Why Pick Gold Coast Airport over Ballina?
Gold Coast Airport offers more flight options — Jetstar, Virgin, Qantas, AirAsia, and seasonal international routes to Auckland, Tokyo, and Singapore. Ballina is closer (35 km vs 100 km) but has limited carriers and fewer daily flights. For interstate connections requiring early departures or international itineraries, OOL is usually the better choice.

A: Allow 90–110 minutes from central Byron Bay. We recommend leaving at least 2.5 hours before international flight departure.

A: There are no tolls on the Pacific Motorway between Byron and Gold Coast Airport. Our fixed price includes everything regardless.

⏰ NSW–QLD time-zone reminder: Australian daylight saving (October–April) puts NSW one hour ahead of QLD. If you're flying out of OOL or BNE first thing, your QLD departure time looks earlier than your NSW pickup time. We coordinate both — just give us your booking time in either state and we'll lock the right pickup.
Where to Meet Your Driver at Gold Coast Airport (OOL)
Domestic arrivals: Once you have collected your luggage from the carousel, exit the bag-claim hall through the main glass doors. Your driver will be standing in the meet-and-greet area on the kerb-side with a name sign.
International arrivals: After clearing customs and biosecurity, exit the customs hall through the main arrivals door. Your driver waits with a personalised name sign in the international meet-and-greet zone.
