Tom WilliamsonAugust 25, 2013Store your luggage securely at the Luggage Lockers located next to the luggage carousel - perfect if you fancy heading into Cairns while you wait for other people to arrive on later flights.Upvoted Mar 19
QueenslandSeptember 29, 2010Totally renovated & reinvented, this airport sports cool architecture and cultural artworks. Only 10 mins from the city centre, you'll be pleased to know the cabbies here are very laid-backUpvoted Mar 16- Carmen MagarJune 2, 2013There's a beautiful outdoor garden with picnic benches here, great of you have a little time before your flight
Philip CaspariSeptember 10, 2016Gateway to tropical North Queensland, this airport offers good service, food & shopping outlets and souvenir shops. Surrounded by wetlands and mangroves, its only a 5-10min drive to inner Cairns.
Sean WhelanMay 28, 2011Right up the end of the arrivals terminal is a fantastically positioned green seat. Long enough to stretch out on and go to sleep and right next to, not one but TWO power outlets for recharging.
Julie CanningOctober 18, 2010It was a long walk to the car hires, but they are all together so it is easy to go from one to the other to get the best deal possible.
If you have a long stop blue sky brewery is pretty well priced for an airport and the pizza place is pretty good as well.
Coco OApril 10, 2012Lovely airport. Good coffee and everything you need. Try the coffee club for breakfast
DhaniOctober 22, 2014The sun is good here. Don't check in too early. Not enough seats near the domestic check in counters. No free wifi in 2014, and nothing to offer for waiting areas.
Paull YoungFebruary 2, 2014If you think this is a small airport, you've never been to a real small airport. Definitely pop into town if you're here on a layover.
Joyce SeitzingerJune 6, 2016Not enough charge points. You can find two on the wall near the row of seats close to gates 17-19.
Miles MacFarlaneJuly 8, 2014Don't expect to charge your device before boarding. I only saw two, but I'd estimate there are only about six outlets for all domestic departure gates combined.
Sean GJune 13, 2012No free internet. Barely any power outlets - there's one located on one of the columns by the Australian Produce store, right next to a seat.
If you want to escape the humidity then you will be disappointed with the departures hall perhaps to get you to buy a cold drink. Come prepared!
Airport is finished and great. Clean, spacious and not bad for a regional airport.
Glen WelsfordMarch 31, 2012Listening to the woman over the speaker trying to pronounce people's names is almost worth the wait for my connecting flight
Here's hoping that your flight does not arrive whilst there is lightning in the area because you will have a long wait for your luggage.
Definitely the filthiest lounge seats of any airport I've ever been to... My clothes feel so yuck after sitting here waiting!
BoyJupiterJuly 26, 2010It's small...real small. :o\ If you have a layover here, lower your expectations before arrival - and bring a good book and something edible.
Take a raincoat in the Wet Season as the carpark and pickup & drop off areas don't have any covers.
Pavel K 🐎🐎🐎December 10, 2011Beware of QLD sun and humidity as you exit the airport. Slip, slop, slap
Anthony YagerNovember 17, 2011When you arrive on a regional flight you have to leave the terminal to connect
Zen BenOctober 7, 2010Stay at the domestic terminal as long as u can. International terminal has less food and shopping here.
Sammy ReynoldsOctober 16, 2011If your'e flying international, eat before you come. Food is expensive and the burger place have obviously never heard of hygiene or safe food.- Not enough screens around showing departure and arrival information.
Don't leave unattended car at Int drop off. Cameras have replaced the "move along" guy so you'll just get a ticket in the mail. Nasty.- Pavel K 🐎🐎🐎July 20, 2011Avoid dealing with Virgin staff, they are so rude. I surprised why they have this job. Fly Qantas they fantastic!
Alexandra EspinozaDecember 23, 2011Barely any taxis after 9pm, take a shuttle bus instead. Only $12 to the city centre.
Once upon a time this would have been a grand terminal, sadly it has a lot of closed shops and cobwebs in the roof structure. Sad.
