We may be diving the GBR in November/December and we will be flying out of LAX. My question is which airport should we fly into? Any recommendations either for or against? Which airline should we book with? Thanks.
Airport for GBR?

For the northern GBR you're flying in to Cairns. If you're only interested in diving fly LAX to Brisbane for a shorter domestic leg. Otherwise work out what else you want to see and fly LAX to Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane (there is also good diving near each depending on your interest and ability).

The GBR is very long, many airports. However, you probably want Cairns for the northern end of the reef.
I'm Cairns local and its all been stated above. Cairns has the majority of GBR trips and us the gateway to the Reef.
Fly to Brisbane or Sydney and get domestic flight to Cairns. Plenty of options and multiple daily flights.
