But what is there to expect from going Business Class?
There are many ways to travel whether it be by taking yourself, catching a taxi or ride share (which can get very expensive) or even catching public transport. Many people don’t have the option of getting dropped off by family or friends especially when it is very early in the morning.
A lot of people note that driving themselves actually takes longer because parking at the airport can be quite a lengthy process, especially during busy periods. If you are parking under cover, you may be shocked to see how much that costs you at the ticket station. Travelling is already a stressful event, if you don’t leave at the right time you may get hit with lengthy traffic delays which can add even more stress to the beginning of your journey.
Some public transport systems work quite well when travelling long distances. That being, when you don’t need to be at the airport as soon as possible. Studies show that catching public transport is stressful for some because they are packed full of people, and if you have more than one bag of luggage, you will need to find space for it. Let’s not even begin to think of the added anxiety of missing your train which unfortunately comes every half an hour while you are already pushing for time.
While being convenient to hail at the wave of a hand when they are not inundated, Taxi services can become very pricey for long distance drives. In fact, many taxi services charge nearly $200.00 for a 70km trip, and don’t expect to get a quality experience either. Ride share can also have the same costs, unless they happily provide a flat rate. Many times, when you request a longer drive with ride share, they will ask you to pay a surcharge on top of the already pricey fee, and again you may not get the experience you expect with the price you pay.
Once you book your transfer with us, you will have the peace of mind that your driver is booked and ready to get you at the time you request. 24 hours prior to pick up, you will get a reminder SMS for added peace of mind.
Once you have been picked up in one of our luxury vehicles, if requested you will have access to newspapers and magazines, bottled water and a quality drive to your destination. We will even help you with your luggage.
If you are being picked up from the airport, you will be greeted by your private driver with a named sign, where they will assist you and ensure you are looked after. Our team have great knowledge of the cities we service and will even provide you with information on the way to your destination.
For all urgent pick-ups, we will go above and beyond, depending on availability but will ensure you are notified either way. To get a free quote please fill out the quote tab to the right of your web page or contact us on 1300 763 005
Imagine cruising the globe on a floating city with shops, restaurants and any other possible amenity. The idea was coined in the 1990s, envisioning a moving city capable of housing 50,000 to 100,000 passengers.
The project was invented by Florida engineer Norman Nixon and named the Freedom Ship International. The project struggled to attract enterprise investment and was soon abandoned. Nixon also passed a year later.
Recently the Freedom Ship has been seen throughout the media with Roger Gooch, who was part of the original team recently decided to recover the idea. Gooch saw visible change in the global economy and thought it was finally time to bring the Freedom Ship into the spotlight.
The project’s budget is estimated somewhere between $9.93-11.0 billion and according to Gooch would provide a good return on investment. Recent exposure has lead to Gooch being contacted by a handful of private investors, however no venture capital as of yet.
The 25 storey high ship would travel across the globe spending about 70 per cent of its timed tied outside favourable cities and ports.
With the Freedom Ship new found media exposure much criticism has followed. However Gooch is still hopeful that the project will commence in his lifetime.

In today’s society, when it comes to investing in the most reliable transportation to ensure you’re always on time for a flight or business meeting, nothing beats a BCT Transfer. All professionals need to have efficient travel options to corporate events and meetings.
When you’re traveling in and out of an airport a lot, time tends to get wasted and anxieties run high when you need to make an important flight.

Everyone’s worst nightmare is being late or even worse missing your flight! This comes into play usually when you spend precious time looking for a park and then have to race to the terminal before you get locked from boarding the plane.
When you invest in a BCT Transfer service to take you to the airport, you are investing in the reliability and the promise that they will get you to the airport on time, if not early so you can relax before you board.
When you factor in petrol, airport parking fees, car rentals and getting lost, causing you to waste more time and fuel, the price of not renting a BCT transfer becomes much higher.

Have you ever walked out of a three hour concert and seen those people jump straight into limousines or shuttle buses right outside the gates? All you can think about is how sore your feet are as you try to remember where you parked the car.
Going to a concert is an exciting event and the last thing you want to worry about is parking, getting stuck in bottle-neck traffic after the concert or even walking through the rain to get back to your car. There is a trick to avoiding this grid-locked-concert mayhem: use a transfer service to the concert venue such as Business Class Transfers.
Here’s some perks of travelling in ‘Business Class’ to your event:
Some of the venues we have serviced include (but are not limited to):
Business Class Transfers are familiar with all of the major entertainment venues throughout South East Queensland, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and have an established clientele who regularly use our service for transfers to and from concert and festival events.
We also provide transfer services for talent and entourage providing complete privacy and professionalism with our drivers and vehicles. The size of many of our BCT vehicles provides as much room as a limousine without drawing attention to the vehicle.
So when you grab those front row tickets to your next concert, book in a Business Class Transfer and make the whole event one to remember for the right reasons.
The city of Ipswich located just East of Brisbane, has experienced a recent population boom over the past few years. The attraction of Ipswich is largely due to the central location and the ease of access and travel to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Ipswich also plays host to two major Universities and a number of heritage listed and tourist attractions. Another aspect which has made the city so appealing is the diversity in culture with its 200,000 + residents originating from 115 different ethnic backgrounds. Due to this large range of international residents, Ipswich is also a prime location in respect to travelling to and from Brisbane Airport.
On estimate, the drive from Ipswich to Brisbane Airport takes approximately 50 minutes depending on traffic. Although this may not seem long if you are travelling with a family or with work colleagues, that extra 50 minutes can be the difference between a relaxed arrival delivered straight to the check-in counters, or a frantic arrival after trying to find a carpark in Brisbane Airports multi-story carpark building.
Business Class Transfers offers the ultimate in Airport Transport Solutions with professional drivers, high quality vehicles and a guarantee of first class standards whilst you’re travelling. Use that extra 50 minutes from Ipswich to the airport to catch up on your work emails or just spend time relaxing before your journey.
Our team is trained to the highest standard to cater to all of our client’s needs. Whether it be car seats for little ones or extra room for yourself and your business partners, at BCT we understand that your journey starts as soon as you step out your front door and aim to make it as comfortable as possible.

The Federal Government has indicated that the scheduled second airport for Sydney would function 24 hours a day. Talking on ABC , Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said that the current 11pm to 6am restriction at present imposed by Sydney Airport on international flights “is an issue that clearly has to addressed.”
According to Warren Truss, “If Sydney is to be a world-class city … a city that is going to be able to compete internationally, then it will have to have airport services that are available 24 hours."
''There's no doubt that Sydney loses a lot of the economic benefit of its airport because it is only operating limited hours. There are a number of movements out of Melbourne and Brisbane that happen in hours when there is no airport open in Sydney."
Truss also added a sense of urgency to the project stating that the second Sydney airport should be running ahead of the 2027 proposed date by the Western Sydney Alliance. “I am confident that an airport could be built and operating well and truly before the target date set by the alliance.”
The speculated location of the second airport is at Badgery’s Creek which already has a mark on Google Maps as ‘Sydney West Airport’.
