Tips for 25 min Connections
The whole terminal is small enough to walk end-to-end in under five minutes, so tight domestic connections are manageable.
Check the departure board immediately after landing since gate assignments and boarding calls can change quickly at this compact airport.
There is limited food and retail, so don't expect much beyond a small café if you have a long layover.
Flights to Townsville are infrequent on some routes, so a missed connection can mean waiting several hours for the next option.
Domestic bag transfers between Qantas, Virgin Australia and Jetstar are not automatic if booked separately, so allow time to reclaim and recheck luggage.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Townsville has one small terminal building housing check-in, security, and all gates, so passengers simply walk from arrival gate to departure gate. There is no airside train or shuttle, and all connecting passengers pass through a single central security screening point.
