Are there "turn up and board" shuttle buses from Cairns airport to the city, or do you always have to pre-book?
score:4
Cairns Airport Shuttle has a pretty easy system if you want to book - you can book, and if your flight is delayed, they just put you on the next available shuttle. They do ask that you book in advance however, to ensure bookings where possible.
A better option for your situation may be Sun Palm Transport who specifically state:
Sun Palm Transport is the only Transport Operator which has welcome desks at both the domestic and international arrival terminals.
If you haven’t already made a booking for your Cairns Airport Transfers, through our online booking system, SUN PALM TRANSPORT operates service desks at Cairns Airport, for your convenience, one in each of the arrival terminals, to assist you with your transfers
So that one, you can actually just rock up. They also have timetables and more information on the site.
TNQ Shuttle requires a booking in advance.
Coral Sea Coaches also seems to require an advance booking.

If you don't book a shuttle prior to arriving at Cairns Airport, by law there is only one company (Sun Palm Transport) that is licensed to take walk up bookings. Hence why the other shuttle bus companies require you to book in advance. Booking in advance can mean you maybe able to save a little money on the transfer rate. It pays to do a little research on shuttle bus rates.
If your flight is delayed it is the norm for the shuttle bus company to move you to the next available shuttle (subject to their timetables of course). As the other shuttle bus companies do not have a desk at the Airport, unless you make a booking they won't know you want a transfer so they won't be there.
