Transit in Brisbane

We arrived on time so I just missed the airtrain and had to wait almost 30 minutes for the next one. They really should have a greater frequency than every 30 minutes for the transfers. Too bad if you are on a tight dom->int or vv connection at BNE (eg if inbound flight is late).

I was in a rush to get to the lounge so I didn't bother going via the check in desk to pick up an express immigration card - I'll use one from my stash instead. But arriving at immigration it seems I had hit a sweet spot in the middle of the morning rush and had no queue at all. Normally it takes 30-60 minutes to get through. In the lounge I found the computers were down and had been for days - ie no chance they would be fixed before my flight. For the second time in 3 days I regretted rushing across to the international terminal.
