Gold Coast Airport sits at Coolangatta, right on the Queensland–New South Wales border. Domestic and international flights use the same terminal building, which makes pickups quick and simple.
Qantas, Virgin Australia, Jetstar and international carriers all use the one terminal. Collect your bags (and clear customs if you're arriving from overseas), then call 1300 2GO NOW and we'll confirm your exact meeting point.
Queensland doesn't use daylight saving but New South Wales does. From October to April, Tweed Heads and Byron Bay are an hour ahead of the Gold Coast – we always confirm pickup times in local time so nobody misses a flight.
