Journey: Brisbane Airport to Tweed Heads

Tweed Heads lies at the Queensland NSW border. But getting there, for most travellers, means a trip through Brisbane airport first. Brisbane airport is the closest major airport to Tweed Heads, and it has a range of transport options available. First, there are trains. Trains are great, because of their reliability and capacity to remain unaffected by traffic conditions. However, trains do have some drawbacks. They are expensive, considering the service they offer, and they are not direct. The same applies for buses, which will require several transfers and long waits in between. Taxis, too, are expensive and most would be unwilling to foot the bill.

So where does that leave you? Luckily, there’s a final, and superior, transport solution to get you from Brisbane airport to Tweed Heads. That solution is a transfer from Hughes. At Hughes, we offer direct, 24 hour transfers from Brisbane airport to Tweed Heads.
