Proserpine Airport Mini Guide

Who Travels to Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast Airport?
One of the highlights of a trip to Australia is to see the Great Barrier Reef, snorkel or dive it or take a boat trip round it. The point of entry for such adventures is Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast Airport. The town itself is quite attractive and is a great base from which to explore. You can get boat trips and ferries to the Whitsunday Islands if you intend to spend some time on these idyllic shores beloved by the Australians themselves. There you’ll find luxury resorts the equal of any Caribbean island.



How Easy is it to get to Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast Airport?
Even for Australian’s it’s not easy. Currently the only flights to the airport are from Brisbane and Sydney. To get there from other domestic airports it’ll require a flight into Brisbane followed by a connection to Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast Airport. For international travellers from Europe including the UK, France, Spain and Germany, you should try to get the BA or Qantas flight from London Heathrow into Sydney and connect there for Brisbane and then Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast Airport or you can now fly Tigerair from Sydney direct to Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast Airport.



What is the Airport Like?
With a brand new terminal opening within the last few years, the airport is nearly pristine and has a good range of facilities for what is effectively a small regional airport. There’s a small shop selling local gifts and pre-packaged snacks and drinks, a café with a range of hot and cold snacks and drinks and an airport information desk that doubles as a tourist information point. There are baby changing facilities for those travelling with young children. Plenty of parking is available outside and there are car hire desks for those wishing to collect a pre-booked hire car at Proserpine / Whitsunday Coast Airport.
