Brisbane�s Airtrain is celebrating its first birthday with a renewed focus on the cost, convenience and reliability of Queensland�s first airport rail transfer service.

Marketing Coordinator Sonya Duck is currently doing the rounds of Sydney travel agents to make Airtrain even more competitive and responsive to the needs of residents travelling to Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Travel agents back Airtrain because they know they are offering their customers the best value Brisbane Airport transfer service available, said Ms Duck.

�The success of our first year of operations is largely due to our commitment to provide value-for-money, convenient, frequent and reliable airport transfers travellers deserve when visiting Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

�Airtrain is not just the best priced airport transfer on the market it is running at over 99 percent reliability - the highest of any train provider in Australia and an exceptional record for a service that operates up to four times per hour,� she said. �Our research shows travellers are coming back to Airtrain because it is a service they trust, and one they don�t mind telling family and friends about.�

Over the coming year Airtrain is focusing on the special needs of travellers including Sydney leisure and corporate travellers.

�Business is always looking for ways to slash travel costs for their staff on interstate business, but regardless of the market � whether for business or leisure � the bottom line is that people want a competitively priced transfer they can depend on,� said Ms Duck.

�As more travellers learn about this fantastic service it is recommended that Sydney travel agents book Airtrain�s airport transfers through Sunlover or Qantas to ensure they maximise commissions otherwise lost by travellers (especially corporate airline passengers) choosing to catch a taxi to and from Brisbane Airport.� For the best deal on wheels transfer with Airtrain and save. Adult fares to Brisbane�s CBD are only $9, children are $4.50 and a group of four is just $22. Passengers transferring to the Gold Coast are advised to purchase AirtrainConnect. For just $25 per adult, $15 per child and $80 for a group of four AirtrainConnect offers return rail transfers from Brisbane Airport to the Gold Coast and then an air-conditioned coach shuttle service to the door of all accommodation houses located between Southport Spit and Burleigh Heads.

As part of Airtrain�s commitment to service excellence, passengers can arrange to be met by a customer service office on arrival at Brisbane Airport. Travellers are advised to look for the Airtrain Information Booth located in the Qantas baggage pick-up area of Brisbane Airport�s Domestic Terminal or visit the Travellers Information Desk located in the Arrival Hall at the International Terminal for additional assistance.
