If you're coming from an international location, you can get a direct flight from Auckland, NZ and some Asia-Pacific locations. Mostly though you'll want to fly into Brisbane first and then get a connecting flight to Cairns - you'll have a few to choose from from Brisbane each day from each of the major airlines and the flight time is just a couple of hours.
