About this route
A 6pm Friday departure from Paddington to Brisbane Airport costs around A$54.08; the night-rate switch happens later in the evening. No toll road sits on the natural route between Paddington and Brisbane Airport, keeping the maths straightforward.
Brisbane Airport sits ~14 km north-east of the CBD; AirportLink and the Clem7 tunnel both shorten the trip but add tolls. Treat the A$54.08 midpoint from Paddington to Brisbane Airport as a regulated maximum, not a quote: traffic delays only raise the bill if they push the meter through the slow-speed threshold. The figures here mirror the regulated maximum from Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) — drivers may charge less than the A$54.08 typical between Paddington and Brisbane Airport, never more.
