ALL car parks are very busy this Labour Day long weekend, with limited drive-up spots available. Please consider alternative transport options.  If you do have a car park booking, please have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit and allow extra time to find a spot. Our roads and car parks may have changed since your last visit. Due to ongoing construction in the T123 car park Pick up and Drop off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times. Learn more about the Naarm Way Stage 2 project: https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/plan-ahead To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, just a short 10-minute walk from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for Drop off or Level 1 for Pick up. Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Certain airlines have dedicated VIP lounges available at Melbourne Airport for selected passengers. Please contact your airline directly to confirm eligibility and availability.
