Cairns International Airport is about 6km north of the city centre on Captain Cook Highway and handles frequent flights within Australia and is increasingly becoming a popular international gateway with flights from Asia and Papua New Guinea.

Many backpackers either arrive or depart Cairns by air and flights between Cairns and Alice Springs, Darwin and Sydney are often bundled with backpacker bus package deals.

    You still get dropped off on the tarmac for regional flights with a decent walk to the terminal. However, renovations with all the additional shops & seating areas are a welcome change!

    Bring noise-cancelling headphones to achieve some peace.

    大きくなく、設備もそこそこ。駅や港までは歩いて1時間ちょっと。空港通りに沿ってマングローブ遊歩道がある。

    Not enough charge points. You can find two on the wall near the row of seats close to gates 17-19.

    Неплохой аэропорт, из которого на такси до центра города стоит на двоих дешевле, чем на автобусе

    The 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.

    Don'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.

    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.

    If 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.
