Gold Coast by plane
The Gold Coast Airport (IATA: OOL) , also known as Coolangatta Airport, is in Coolangatta to the south. It may be unique in the world in that, because it straddles the NSW and Queensland borders, you land in one state and arrive in another.
It is a fairly small terminal but handles around 3.5 million passengers per year with frequent connections from major Australian cities and some international flights from New Zealand and Asia. It is around 30 minutes drive to Surfers Paradise. There is a shuttle bus connecting the airport to the main Surfside buses route between Tweed Heads and Surfers Paradise.
A viable alternative, especially if hiring a car, is to fly into Brisbane Airport (IATA: BNE). You can catch a direct train from the airport (105 minutes) to Nerang 8km to the west of Surfers Paradise, and connect with the local buses. Otherwise it is a 90 minute drive down the Pacific and Gold Coast Highways.
