Not a bad airport at all, friendly people, a bit difficult to maneuver, but the people were nice enough that it didn't matter.

Very good terminal for a low cost carrier like Jetstar, fast disembarking and good views of the main runway.

The Qantas terminal is old and needs some updating and those tinted windows AGHHHH. But other than that a nice terminal to arrive into. But food and drink is expensive.

Went on public transport and reliable skybus, no need for a taxi with one suitcase. Check out their website to see which terminal you need to go, they are all possible to walk to, once you are there anyway.

They have automatic immigration system, it was soooo fast to go out!
Actually, I used to love collecting immigration stamps, but I couldn't get them in here.

Melbourne, just brilliant! Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne better than $ydney. There are no words to describe how good Melbourne is! Two would suffice, just brilliant. I can't stress how good Melbourne is. It was the original capital until Sydney's insecurity showed up.

I have connected internationally once through MEL. Generally it was a positive experience with no problems. MEL is a convenient, clean, and well-organized airport with nice staff. There are good shopping and eating opportunities in the terminal. I had a 2 1/2 hour connection which I
was plenty of time to go through security etc. However, I would not recommend a connection longer than 3h as quite simply you would get bored. KEEP IN MIND: I have only been to the international terminal (keep in mind).

Overall a better experience than I thought it would be with so many pax on an A388. Melbourne airport could really do with free wifi. Only annoying thing was the number of people sleeping on the seats that had a view over the Tarmac.

I have always found Melbourne an easy airport to get around, nothing seems to be too far away and it's easy to get to and well signposted.
Having said that I recently had a regional flight from MEL-LST with Qantas and the departure gate seemed to be in a long forgotten part of the airport, probably Melbourne Airport Mark I. The seats were torn, the area was dark and dank, not a pleasant area.

Heaps of food places, security checkers were casual but did the job quickly and correctly. Food didn't cost anywhere near as much as I was expecting. Getting to the airport was a little tricky due to the myki system, but the skybus was excellent and reasonably priced.

Had whole row for 24 dollars AUS slept entire flight. I had to get flight crew to move a passenger from the row I had payed for which they were able to do easily. the rest of the flight was without incident
Arrived to KLIA2 which was only open a few days, was easy to navigate and am ready to go again.

Easy to get through Melbourne as it was a domestic flight. Had a lot of international travelers so it slowed us down.

Australia's best airport. All Terminals close to each other. A lot of room to move about, and plenty of places to shop or have a drink, while waiting for your flight.

The Qantas Business Lounge definatly doesnt differ from the service that you get onboard. The lounge boasts a large range of cold food as well as many hot dishes from all cultures. An even larger variety of drinks are on offer too. There are a large choice of books, magazines and computers available for business use. The lounge has a real sense of modern interior design.

Melbourne airport has definitely improved its performance as it has updated many important parts of the airport. As always its important to get to the airport early to avoid check-in queues or make sure you check-in online before going to the airport. Check to see if your eligible to use your airlines lounge for your flight as many airlines have a lounge in Melbourne airport

Tullamarine is your average airport. Nothing fancy. The recently upgraded international terminal (2) looks OK.
Traffic to and from the airport is primarily via taxi's. There is no public transport in the near vicinity and the other option is to use the Skybus which brings you to the heart of the city near Southern Cross station for AUD$18.00. A comparable cab-ride is around 70 to 100.

Qantas Domestic terminal mostly nicely renovated however (spending 3hr layover) exploring the airport had stark contrasts between really quite old parts and the shiny modern new. (As of 2012)

Overall, Great Airport! Long walk from the relaxing / food court area to the gate. I found it surprising that terminal 4 closes overnight and reopens at 4:00am which was a little annoying. Very clean and okay selection of food outlets.

Got the skybus to the airport, very quick but quite expensive. It was very easy to transition between terminals, which were relatively clean. Customs and immigration a little slow. Overall a very good airport

The airport is way too remote from the city centre. I reckon it took one hour with the bus shuttle service to get there and therefore it's also expensive.

only thing did not liked the walk to T4 the new Jetstar dedicated terminal , you need to allow sufficient time to reach your gate , they should have enough carts to carry pregnant ladies and families with young ones .
Also luggage trolley needs to be paid $4???
Australia is probably be the only country charging for getting your luggage through the trolley

My home airport, plenty of shopping and restaurants. Free WiFi is of decent speed.
Check in is always orderly and the lines move fairly fast.
The biggest thing that lets Melbourne Airport down is the transport to the airport. There is no rail link, and one main freeway that can become choked with traffic. There is a frequent shuttle bus, but it is expensive.

Got through the e-Gates quite quickly this time.
Bags had Priority tags and turned up first which is unusual.
Has no trouble finding our driver but it is a long walk in the open to the car and the pedestrian crossings are just dangerous.

The wait for a taxi at Melbourne (Qantas terminal) alway seems to take a long time - presumably because it is at the end of the series of terminals all of which are waiting for taxis.
Next time I will try walking down to the Virgin taxi rank to see if that is any quicker.

Took a taxi from Southbank, cost about $60AUS. Got to the airport super early for a departure to Los Angeles. Was probably the second person on line to check bags. Passport control very fast... unfortunately they no longer stamp passports exiting Australia. Security screening easy, security folks actually pleasant. Lots of shopping, not many places to eat. I didn't need any more souvenirs but something more substantial than a lamington and a 'flat white' would have been nice at 7 AM when waiting for a 9 AM departure. Pretty good airport overall.

Have to pay for wifi which i thought was very poor. As for baggage well they handled the slip up in Dubai nicely, as for the blokes in Dubai not so nicely. They organised my baggage to come in on another flight and offered to deliver it to my house 340km's away. Airports big but nothing compared to transit airports.
