Thanks for the tips. The online purchase/printout of tickets for Mel is pretty cool and something that would come in handy if rushing onto the bus.
You can't buy $8 tickets at Bne airport (that I know of yet), but the $8 vouchers you buy at the touristy places as discussed work either way to or from Airport.
When departing the airport, show it at the Ticket booth, and they hole punch it. QR should then accept it as a valid ticket for travel into town (although, some of the ticket checkers at the city stations may not identify it properly at first!)
One thing to watch is validity for the Airtrain tickets. They are valid for up to 6 months, but as they don't seem to sell many at the touristy places they can come close to expiry. Some I bought a few days ago expire at the end of Jan!
I havn't had the expiry date checked yet by either QR or Airtrain staff (It's printed on the back of the card), but apparently if you do have one that's expired the Airtrain ticket office will replace it...
