Plane Spotting in Brisbane


Have you ever heard of plane spotting? With just under 3000 average weekly domestic aircraft movement through Brisbane Airport, and much more when you consider international flights, you’re not short on viewing material!

But Brisbane Airport’s viewing platform on isn’t the only spot that aviation enthusiasts can get their fix.

The Pullman Hotel Brisbane Airport is Australia’s best airport hotel for the third year running and ranked in the top ten in the world – and when it comes to those plane spotters, there’s even a special package!

“It gets you a nice accommodation at the Pullman Brisbane Airport, you get your buffet breakfast the next day, you get a nice hour long viewing at the Sky Lounge Rooftop Bar and not to mention our cute little binoculars,” said director of sales and marketing, Michelle Hanson. “We’ve got activity at the airport at all hours of the day so if they want to get their sunrise of their sunset and tie it in or if they know a particular plane is landing like the A380 and it really tickles their fancy, then come up then!”

The Sky Lounge is definitely where plane spotters will gravitate with views of the old runway, the new runway and even some ocean glimpses.

But it’s not only that outlook that’s five star, the hotel is first class all the way with 132 beautiful rooms, a pool oasis with bar access and a gourmet restaurant, Apron.

Here Chef Nem Babic is piloting a brand new degustation menu with a delectable 8 courses and matching wines.

We’re not talking economy either. Think duck ravioli with wild mushroom jus, grilled Mooloolaba king prawns with kombu butter and Asian style pork belly with local scallops.

“It’s our version of a surf and turf,” Chef Nem smiled.

He really shines a light on bespoke produce soured from our very own back yard.

“As a chef I feel we have the power to introduce new things to people and it makes you feel good to introduce local suppliers.”
