If you don’t care about timing on Saturday the 22nd it can be done on flex fares out of the Gold Coast for $342 (9:20am down, 6:20pm back but could fly ahead). Shopback also has 3.1% cash back to further sweeten the deal.

Train/bus from Brisbane or anywhere in SEQ to the Gold Coast airport is $1.

Hennus thanks for that. Sadly I have a catch up on the Friday for a 50 year renunion for the residential college i stayed at Queensland University in the 70s. They generally go late into the night so would not feel like going down to the Gold Coast early the next morning. Have never looked into Shopback before so will have a look at that as well.

Seriously? Isn't it about $20 to Brisbane Airport?

Correct the Brisbane Airport Airtrain is currently $10.95 one way although this will double 10 Feb when the subsidy ends.

The Gold Coast airport is serviced by regular translink busses the 777 (every 15 minutes to Broadbeach/Tram) and 765 (every 30 minutes to Varsity Lakes station and other direction to the border). Because of the 50c fares it means any trip from Gold Coast Airport to Brisbane or really anywhere on the translink network in SEQ is 50c one way. Same for the Sunshine Coast airport with their bus. Handy for those doing a status run out of the Gold Coast and based in Brisbane or wanting to be in Brisbane and happy to spend the 2 hours on a train/bus!
