Flying from Melbourne Airport or looking to pick up or drop off a loved one? Consult the flight tracker on Flyparks below and read on to find out more information about Melbourne Airport arrivals and departures.
With four terminals at the airport, T1, T2, and T3 will be for domestic departures, while T4 will be for Melbourne Airport international departures.
Terminal 2 is where all Melbourne Airport international arrivals & departures will take place. All other terminals - T1, T3, and T4 - serve Melbourne Airport domestic flights.
If you are picking up travellers from T1, T2, or T3, head to the designated pick-up zone on the ground level of these terminals, at the forecourt where there is a 1-minute pick-up zone. Terminal 4 passengers can be collected on Level 1 of the T4 Car Park. Follow the signs off Airport Drive.
If your passengers are not ready to be collected, you can park in the Wait Zone located on Mercer Drive. For 30 minutes, you can park here for free. From 30 minutes - 1 hour, you will be charged $4.00, and at an hour and above, terminal rates will apply.
Terminal 1 at Melbourne Airport will service domestic flights and travellers, specifically those flying Qantas or QantasLink.
Terminal 3 is for domestic travellers, specifically those flying Virgin Australia, REX, and Skywest.
You should be aware that, generally, it will take at least an hour to an hour and a half for passengers to clear immigration at Melbourne Airport.
To make the process hassle-free, make sure passengers have their custom(s) card filled out and ready. Additionally, if passengers are Smart Gate travellers they can utilise the SmartGate arrivals entrance by placing their passport into the scanning device and looking into the camera to have a face-passport match. Upon digital approval, the gate will open. Should you require assistance, an attendant is nearby to help.
The airport recommends that you be present at least 2 hours before your scheduled flight time. Should your flight be delayed, we recommend that you still abide by this timeframe in case your flight changes terminals, or has additional modifications. Allow yourself time to park at Melbourne Airport. We recommend arriving at the car park 30 - 45 minutes before you need to be at the airport terminals, especially for those parking at an off-site car park.
