Brisbane international to domestic

[saw71]

I will be landing at Brisbane airport on a United flight on a Friday at 6:30am and have a 9:15am Qantas domestic flight.
These are both on separate tickets (Qantas flight booked in business class using points on the Qantas website, only time available using classic points, next flight using classic points was at 7:30pm).
Will 2 hours 45 mins be enough time? Can you use the domestic transfer desk at the international terminal to check into the Qantas flight and drop of the luggage and get the shuttle to domestic terminal?
Also hoping to have enough time to get to the lounge and have a shower after a long flight and before the domestic flight.

Yes you’ll be able to check in at the transfer desk, the bus provided is by the airport not Qantas so it’s open to everyone (unlike Sydney). It’s also more frequent.

You could also just take your bags on the bus and check in at the domestic terminal through premium entry (direct to lounge). I’d probably do that if it were me.

2:40 is plenty of time as long as your flight is on time. MCT is 1:30 If it’s more than an hour late you might have an issue.
