Flights from Sydney to Brisbane: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Sydney to Brisbane 
KasFlew with Qantas AirwaysSYD-BNEJan 2025
It's worth paying a little extra to fly with Qantas. They really look after passengers. You get a generous baggage and carry-on allowance, and get a snack or meal onboard.
RubyFlew with Virgin AustraliaSYD-BNENov 2024
Brisbane airport is under renovation. The toilets just out of the gate only have 4 available. Walk for a few minutes and there's much better facilities near the food court.
Verified travelerFlew with Qantas AirwaysSYD-BNENov 2024
Qantas timeliness is extremely poor, leave a lot of time contingency-even though with the time zone difference I had 2.5 hours ( as Brisbane doesn’t observe day light savings) to get to my meeting in Brisbane CBD this wasn’t enough.
Verified travelerFlew with Virgin AustraliaSYD-BNEJun 2024
Make sure you check the weight of the suitcases and the carryons get added together so you have to pay a lot of money.
KristyFlew with Qantas AirwaysSYD-BNEMay 2024
Board early; don’t rely on announcements that never come; ensure personal items are ina bag that can fit under your seat!

The crew were great. The seat was older than an old Holden with a big metal bar sticking right into my back. The passenger next to me complained that hers was the same. The pre purchase system for food was disappointing as the pie/quiche took 20 mins to warm up, arrived too hot and with no utensils. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on.

Not very good, no food and not drink ( caffe or tea). Never ever fly with jet star.

Fabulous I have no issues with JetStar great service always use them to fly

Flight was as expected - we got what we paid for which was a base fare

Hardly we had overweight and we were asked to pay $75. We were checked by a female and weight was alright

Unaware of charge for carry on until i got to gate

I got what I paid for - flight was clean, staff were friendly

I like that fare is cheap but because there's no amenities whatsoever. You get what you paid for.

There's a reason why fare is cheap, no amenities.

It is what it is - nothing more, nothing less. No entertainment onboard but one kinda knows that when buying a ticket on a no frills airline. I choose Jetstar only because of price.
