Bus Transfer: Melbourne Tullamarine Airport to/from Melbourne City by Skybus

About this experience

SkyBus Melbourne Airport Transfer Tickets Book SkyBus Melbourne City Express tickets for the simplest bus link between Melbourne Tullamarine Airport and the city. The big red SkyBus runs non-stop between the airport terminals and Southern Cross Station, Melbourne's main rail and coach hub, in about 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. There is no need to book a departure time: buy your ticket here, then hop on the next bus when you land or when you are ready to fly. Choose a one-way ticket from the airport to the city or from the city to the airport, or a return ticket that covers both trips. Tickets are open-dated and valid for 3 months from the date of purchase, so a delayed flight or a change of plan does not waste your fare. A return ticket is for one person and covers two journeys; it cannot be shared by two travellers. How the SkyBus Melbourne City Express Works At the airport: SkyBus stops are on the kerbside outside Terminals 1, 3 and 4, a short walk from baggage claim. In the city: buses leave from the coach terminal at Southern Cross Station on Spencer Street. Timings: the Melbourne City Express runs from about 4am to 1am, 7 days a week. Buses leave about every 10 minutes at peak times and every 15 minutes at other times of day. On board: free Wi-Fi, plenty of luggage space and road tolls are included in the fare. Show your e-ticket on your phone when you board; it is scanned at the bus. Your luggage allowance matches the standard checked and carry-on allowance of your airline, so keep your boarding pass handy in case the driver asks. Very large items are carried only if there is room on the bus. SkyBus Tickets for Families and Groups Children under 4 travel free on an adult's lap without their own seat, and older children need a child ticket. Children must travel with a paying adult. Buses are wheelchair accessible; let the driver know when you board so space can be made. These tickets cannot be cancelled, changed or refunded once booked, so pick the right direction before you pay. If you are not sure which way you will travel, the return ticket covers both trips within 3 months. Arriving in Melbourne by SkyBus Southern Cross Station sits on the western edge of the central business district, with trams and trains to the rest of the city right outside. From there it is a short ride or walk to Southbank's riverside restaurants, Docklands and most city hotels. Take the train if you are heading on to the suburbs, or a tram along Collins or Bourke Street to the shops and laneways. Make the most of your first day in Melbourne. Head up the city's tallest viewing platform with Melbourne Skydeck at Eureka Tower tickets, see the city from the water on a 1-hour Yarra River cruise, or spend a rainy afternoon at the Melbourne Museum.
