Your journey at a glance
A private arrival. A clear fare.
Travel between Q1 Resort & Spa and Brisbane Airport for $244 each way in a private Cadillac LYRIQ. The reference journey is 87.2 km and around 73 minutes’ driving, before traffic allowance. The same published fare applies in either direction, for the vehicle rather than each passenger.
Your pickup at Q1 Resort & Spa
Book to Q1 Resort & Spa, 9 Hamilton Avenue, and make clear that your destination is the accommodation rather than a SkyPoint visit. If you booked an apartment through a separate manager, share any check-in or entrance instructions from that booking. For a departure, confirm the vehicle meeting point with your GGCLT driver before leaving the apartment. Allow time for lifts, checkout and bringing the whole party's luggage together.
The journey to Surfers Paradise
The reference route between Brisbane Airport and Q1 Resort & Spa is 87.2 km, with around 73 minutes of driving in normal conditions. GGCLT's route calculation allows around 91 minutes for road travel planning. Traffic on the Brisbane–Gold Coast corridor can extend the trip, especially near commuter peaks. For a flight departure, add your airline's check-in and bag-drop allowance to the road journey rather than using the driving time alone.
Arriving at Brisbane Airport
Brisbane's domestic and international terminals are separate, so include your flight number and terminal in the booking. After landing, collect your bags and keep your mobile available for your driver's meeting instructions. An international arrival also needs time for immigration and customs. With the meeting point confirmed, your private transfer continues directly to Q1 Resort & Spa in Surfers Paradise.
From your hotel to the terminal
For the journey from Q1 Resort & Spa to Brisbane Airport, the published fare is the same $244 per private vehicle. Choose “Hotel → Airport” in the booking panel and enter the time you want to leave the hotel, not your flight's departure time. Finish checkout and collect any stored luggage before pickup. Share your departure flight and domestic or international terminal so the trip can be planned around your airline's check-in and bag-drop requirements.

For a straightforward airport arrival, enter the full passenger and luggage count when booking. If the itinerary includes another address or a stop along the way, include it before confirmation so the journey can be priced and planned correctly.
About Q1 Resort & Spa
Q1 is one of the Gold Coast's most recognisable places to stay, with self-contained apartments beneath the SkyPoint Observation Deck. One-, two- and three-bedroom options, larger apartments and penthouse accommodation let you choose the space that fits your party. Kitchens and living areas make a longer visit comfortable, while two outdoor lagoon pools and an indoor pool give the days a resort feel.
A gym, Q1 Day Spa and dining around the property add options between outings. The Hamilton Avenue setting keeps Surfers Paradise Beach and the central precinct within reach. It suits travellers who want an apartment base with a landmark outlook and activities close by.
A little local context
SkyPoint is a convenient way to see the wider coastline, while beach time and central Surfers Paradise dining can fill the rest of the day. Keep any attraction booking separate from your airport itinerary. On departure day, return with time to collect bags and complete checkout before meeting your driver.
Your transfer questions, answered.
How much is a transfer between Brisbane Airport and Q1 Resort & Spa?
The published direct-transfer fare is $244 AUD each way for the private vehicle, not per passenger. The same price applies airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-airport. Additional stops and excess waiting are quoted separately, and any card fee is shown at checkout.
How long should I allow for the journey?
The reference road journey is 87.2 km and around 73 minutes' driving. Allow around 91 minutes for road travel planning, then add your airline's check-in, bag-drop and security requirements for a departure. Actual traffic and event access can change travel time.
Where is pickup at Q1 Resort & Spa?
Use the hotel address at 9 Hamilton Avenue, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217 and confirm the vehicle meeting point with your GGCLT driver. Include any tower, apartment or separate entrance instructions from your accommodation booking. The hotel pickup guide above gives property-specific details.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Include your flight number so GGCLT can monitor arrival information. Keep your phone available and contact your driver if your flight, terminal or baggage situation changes. Your driver will confirm any revised pickup arrangements directly.
Can I reserve both directions?
Yes. Book the outward and return journeys separately, with their own dates, times and flight details. The same published $244 private-vehicle fare applies each way for this hotel and airport.
Will there be room for my luggage?
The Cadillac LYRIQ Luxury is recommended for up to 4 passengers with full luggage. Tell GGCLT about oversized suitcases, golf clubs, prams or unusual equipment before booking so luggage space can be confirmed for your group.
