Getting Around CBR Airport

CBR Airport features two main concourses: the Southern and Western Concourses, which are connected by a central atrium. This layout simplifies navigation as all main facilities and gates are housed within these two areas. The Southern Concourse primarily serves Qantas passengers, housing several Qantas lounges and check-in counters. Conversely, the Western Concourse is utilized by Virgin Australia and includes amenities such as the Virgin Lounge and check-in facilities.

When moving between these concourses, the central atrium acts as a helpful landmark, making it easier for you to find your way. Each concourse is well-signposted, directing you to lounges, gates, and essential services like restrooms and eateries. For international flights, specifically those operated by Singapore Airlines, you will head to gate 5 in the Western Concourse, which is equipped with customs, immigration, and quarantine facilities. The compact design of the airport allows for quick transitions between gates and services, facilitating a smoother experience inside the terminal.
