how do you get to lord howe island

To get to Lord Howe Island, the main way is by flying. There are daily flights from Sydney operated by Qantas or SmartLynx Australia that take less than two hours. On weekends, there are also flights from Brisbane. Additionally, Eastern Air Services offers weekly flights and charters from places like Port Macquarie, the Gold Coast, and Newcastle. Once on the island, transportation is mainly by foot or bicycle as it is a small island (about 11 km long and 2 km wide) with limited rental cars available. Sailing there by private boat or yacht is possible but much less common. Tourists are limited to 400 at any one time, so advance booking of flights and accommodation is recommended. Airport transfers to accommodations are generally provided by local providers.
