Arrival from EU, Middle East & Africa
Delegates can either fly via Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Seoul, Guangzhou PRC, or Tokyo with that one stop straight into Brisbane, then 1 hr transfer to the Gold Coast by car, bus, limo, taxi, shuttle services and even AirTrain service. They can also fly into Sydney with a few more international carrier options but that would be two stops – in the connection hub city in Asia/Pacific then go through immigration/customs in Sydney to connect domestically up to the Gold Coast airport – one more stop but flights between Sydney and the Gold Coast are at least every half hour (just an hour flight).
Arrival from America
Qantas, Virgin and Hawaiian Airlines fly non-stop into Brisbane from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas Ft. Worth, and Honolulu. There are also flights with 1 stop in Asia Pacific hubs such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Fiji, and Tokyo e.g. that connect directly into Brisbane. Delta and United also fly into Sydney Airport but then delegates require a 1 hour flight up to the Gold Coast. From the USA, Brisbane is probably easier as it is non-stop from USA gateways; but there is also a great connection on Air New Zealand via Auckland directly into the Gold Coast Airport. From Latin America there are directly flights to Sidney via Santiago de Chile and from Buenos Aires to New Zealand.
Arrival from Asia Pacific
As the Gold Coast is a very popular leisure and incentive city from this region, there are plenty of non-stop flights into the Gold Coast directly – Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Auckland, Wellington for example.
