Airport pickup for our homestay students
When you arrive at your destination Queensland airport, a representative from your host school will meet you as booked and arranged and drive you to your homestay accommodation or school. This service is free of charge between 6am and 9pm. There is no pickup service outside of these times and you cannot travel alone to your homestay or request other services after 9pm and before 6am.
Remember to provide your arrival details and the flight itinerary to your host school with plenty of time and they will arrange your pick up. The
student flight arrival details form will be provided to you once you have received confirmation of enrolment.
During school holidays send your Student flight arrival details form to the relevant
International Student Centre to make sure your request is actioned.
Sometimes the unexpected happens, so if your flight arrival times change or you have missed a flight connection and it is outside of school hours please contact our free call 1800 QSTUDY (1800 778839).
When travelling to Queensland, make sure you give yourself enough time to collect luggage and transfer from one airport to another. Check
airport information or if you are
transferring from Sydney Airport to Brisbane.
Don’t forget if you are arriving at the Brisbane International Airport (BNE) and require a transfer to the Brisbane domestic terminal, we can arrange that for you. This service is only available from 6am until early afternoon so you will arrive at your final destination before 9pm.
If you will be living with a parent or a Department of Home Affairs approved relative, your family should contact your host school directly to request assistance.
Here is a quick guide to our EQI schools and the closest Queensland airport to book your flights.
