Brisbane Airport Parking - current discounts available

[QF WP]

I haven't been offered discounts for a long time. Got my next trip on Sunday, but not expecting any discounts...as they've been full for a while (had to take up a Guaranteed spot on my last trip a week ago).

Anyone have any working codes at the moment? Looking for parklong domestic.

Just out of interest how long do you need parking?

I recently parked 37 days undercover at Alpha parking and it was ~$220.

Have a booking next week for 8 days $117.

There is a discount when you pay if you say you're a returning customer. Somewhere between 10%-20%. I can't get BNE airport parking to get anywhere near these rates for undercover parking.

We need 8 days, but the convenience of parking at the terminal is close to the difference between a couple of uber trips

That’s exactly how I look at it @mjgriffo. In fact, I did a survey the other day from BAC regarding parking. I’ll dig out the screenshots and post here.

I don't understand why you'd need Uber to/from terminal?

Alpha (and Andrews) both provide complimentary transport to/from both airport terminals in Brisbane between 4:00am and 11:00pm.

You'd be at the airport in less than half an hour.

I arrived at BNE international last Sunday morning and was ready to leave around ~7:30am. On the way to pickup point point I called Alpha and they said they can get me on the minibus about to depart and I did. I was in my car in less than 30 minutes and home before 9:00am. But even if I didn't make that minibus the next minibus is only 20 minutes away.

@JohnK I believe that @mjgriffo is comparing the cost of a rideshare to and from home (or work) versus the cost of the parking (that is how I assess the relative value). For me, any short stay (1-2 nights) is better parking - generally cost is <$70 parking versus $80+ in rideshare. Beyond that, th value is in having your car there if you have a lot of luggage (with longer trips) versus inability to fit everything into anything but the most expensive (large car) rideshares.

Sorry @QF WP still does not make sense to me unless 30 minutes is important.

- $85 for 8 days open air parking in Airpark 1
- $155 for 8 days park&fly undercover or open air
- $159 for 8 days parklong majority of spaces undercover

Or

- $117 for 8 days Alpha undercover parking (this will come down to ~$105 with returning customer discount)

The 30 minutes to/from Alpha airport parking does not bother me.

Anyway to each their own.

That would be great, thanks QF WP.

That's the one @AIRwin - wasn't much use to me as I have a trip starting 18th June (and I'll get dropped to airport).

 

[Major]

Not much use to me either, need International. However friends now dropping off and picking up

I think I've mentioned my dilemma in another thread. We are away for 31 days beginning Christmas Day. I want car undercover not in an open air carpark.

Andrews is $400. That's steep.

Alpha is closed Christmas Day. If I take car in previous afternoon cost for 32 days, undercover, is $220-$240 with my returning customer discount. Uber Christmas morning will be $60-$100?

BAC airport parking is around $330 but the only option is valet style parking and there's no guarantee the car will be undercover. Even if I got undercover looks to be around around $500, if not more.

I think best choice is Alpha. Am I missing something?
