The SkyBus is also a popular option, and it takes about 45min to arrive at the airport. This is great for those travelling on a budget as it's cheaper than a taxi. If you're driving, then you can take advantage of the long term car park at the airport, where you can leave your vehicle in a secure environment. When you land at Brisbane Airport (BNE), you can also easily get to the city centre. A taxi takes about 20min and is great if you want to go to your accommodation directly. You can also opt for a train from the terminal building to downtown Brisbane, which takes around 20min. The Con-X-ion shuttle bus runs from the airport to the city in about 50min, dropping off at various locations.

Whilst Toowoomba is around a 1h and 35-minute car journey from the terminal building or about 2h and 15min by bus. A good way to travel is by car, so it might be worth hiring a vehicle from the airport when you arrive.
