Your Boarding Pass To Brisbane Airport’s Sky High Shopping Destination
take off in style
Everyone knows the feeling all too well: you’ve arrived at the airport, luggage in hand, duffle slung over your shoulder, and a tiny voice in your head nags at you that you’ve forgotten something important. Maybe it’s a gift for the friends you’re visiting that was left on the kitchen table. Maybe it’s your trusty headphones, the one thing saving you from three hours of silence. Or, spoiler alert: maybe you haven’t forgotten anything at all. Either way, Brisbane Airport’s Domestic Terminal has you covered, from travel essentials to pre-flight browsing.
This month, we’re jetting off in style with our November cover stars, Lachie and Jules Neale. Dressed head-to-toe in pieces from the Domestic Terminal, they’re proof that airport style can be equal parts practical and polished, as they wander through the terminal with all the ease of seasoned travellers.
Start your airport experience at Witchery. With its recently refreshed creative direction, the label’s elevated staples are made for spontaneous dinner plans at your destination. Seed Heritage brings breezy linens and easy silhouettes for weekend escapes, while Country Road and Oxford have timeless wardrobe pieces covered for both men and women. For that final touch, Mimco, Lovisa, and Sunglass Hut offer statement bags, sleek frames, and everyday jewellery to match any itinerary.
Of course, style is only part of the story at Brisbane Airport’s Domestic Terminal. For the pre-flight pamperers (because no one likes battling dry cabin air without the right tools), a quick spritz of a floral Jo Malone perfume, a hydrating skincare boost from Mecca, and a quick touch-up at MAC is all it takes to step on board feeling fresh. A little TLC goes a long way, and suddenly, economy class feels a little closer to business class.
There’s also no need to stress over that last-minute gift you may or may not have left at home. With Mott & Mulberry and Tech2Go just steps from your boarding gate, finding something thoughtful is a breeze, whether it’s a thank you for your hosts, a Christmas surprise for the family, or a quick tech upgrade. And for those looking for in-flight entertainment, Bound and news@bne have your essentials — from snacks to the latest celeb memoir everyone’s raving about.
And for the tiny travellers? LEGO, Seed Heritage, and Peter Alexander make it easy to keep little hands (and moods) occupied before boarding. No tantrums to be seen here. As Lachie and Jules show us, the Domestic Terminal isn’t just a stop along the way, it’s a part of the journey. Whether it’s an outfit refresh, a beauty boost, or a last-minute find, everything you need to ease into holiday mode is right here.
So, next time that tiny voice nags at you, asking “Did I forget something?” you’ll know the answer is simple: it’s waiting for you at BNE.
