You'll have to get a domestic flight from Brisbane to Coolangatta.

Or get cheaper flights to Sydney and then a domestic up to Coolangatta. You can quite often get better deals to Sydney than to Brissie. And Gold Coast Airport is a breeze to get in and out of, and about half an hour up to Nerang.

Bear in mind you can't get a train from Coolangatta back up to the Gold Coast, but there will be taxis and buses. There's the usual big car rental companies at the airport, but IIRC on the beach side of the highway (about a fifteen minute luggage drag) there is at least one rent-a-wreck place.

Hi Julie,

I have heard that Coolangatta will soon be excepting flights from the far East next year from places like Hong Kong, Singapore and K.L.

I have heard that they are extending the runway length to enable them to take the biggest jets and therefor open up the airport for all of the long haul flights.

I read this in the local paper a few months back but I have not heard if it is official yet, maybe someone else can shed some more light on it.

Don't think they have Customs or AQIS there at repsent , or do they? That would be an essential for international flights. One reason why there are none to Hobart now is a lack of Customs presence.

I would have thought they would be very careful of what goes in and out of tasmania.
