AIRPORT TRANSFERS

FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH YOUR TRANSPORT OPTIONS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

There are several transport options available to get you from the airport to your accommodation when you arrive. We recommend planning and arranging your transfer before you fly, to ensure a smooth arrival as we know you’ll be eager to settle in after a long flight!

  • If you are arriving into Brisbane, your options include public transport (trains or buses), Uber, taxi or Con-x-ion shuttle bus; you can find out more about these options here. Note: Student One Accommodation can arrange airport transfers for under-18 students who are residing at Student One. Find out more here.
  • If you are arriving into the Gold Coast, your options include public transport (buses), Uber, taxi or Con-x-ion shuttle services, you can find out more about these options here.

10% DISCOUNT ON AIRPORT TRANSFERS FOR GRIFFITH COLLEGE STUDENTS.

Whether you are arriving into Brisbane or Gold Coast airport, Con-x-ion Airport Transfers provides discounted rates for Griffith College students.

Click here to reserve your transfer.

If you are booking an airport transfer with Con-x-ion, please arrange this a minimum of three (3) days prior to your arrival. Upon arrival at either Brisbane or Gold Coast airport, make your way to the Con-x-ion desk in the arrivals area and check-in for your departing transfer. You will be directed to your designated departure point. It is important that you also:

  • advise if you will be bringing oversized luggage, such as a bicycle or surfboard, as additional fees may apply
  • understand no-shows at the airport will be charged
  • advise Con-x-ion of any flight cancellations, changes or rescheduling as soon as possible
  • understand that fees will apply if you don’t advise Con-x-ion of flight changes prior to your scheduled arrival
