从墨尔本机场停好车，冬季为欧洲旅行做好准备

通常在长途旅行前几天，欧洲的打包清单会开始增加。你要计算需要多少层，检查行李限制，还要考虑靴子是否能放进行李箱。如果你的欧洲旅行是在冬天，那就比平时有更多事情需要考虑。

想知道如何让你的航班早晨更轻松一些吗？这份欧洲旅行清单涵盖了所有内容，从携带物品到墨 尔本机场现场停车 如何帮助出发日更顺利。关键是让你在办理登机手续时做好准备，并为即将到来的旅程充满期待。

欧洲的冬天绝非可预测。只需一个冰冷的早晨或积雪的夜晚，就会提醒你为什么打包得更聪明。为了帮助你从起飞到抵达保持舒适，这里简要介绍托运行李中应携带的物品和随身携带的物品。

托运行李应涵盖保持温暖舒适、为欧洲凉爽夜晚和繁忙冬季街道做好准备的必需品。飞行前应携带以下物品：

• 休闲装：准备长袖衬衫和保暖层叠穿，搭配效果很好。保暖上衣非常适合户外寒冷的日子，尤其是穿在毛衣或外套外套里。寒冷早晨必备一件温暖防水的大衣，如果你要去巴黎、罗马或西班牙等多雨的地方，轻巧的雨衣或背包也能帮上忙。
• 舒适的鞋子：那些人字拖？最好把它们留在家里，因为一旦落地它们就不会太多活动。步行仍然是探索欧洲城市的最佳方式，但鹅卵石街道可能滑且不平。带一双抓地力强的舒适步行鞋。如果下雪，带上一双靴子。
• 寒冷天气的额外装备： 与其穿泳衣，不如准备冬季装备，比如手套、围巾和保暖袜。宽檐帽可能不是必需的，但在晴天和雪天戴太阳镜依然很有帮助。别忘了保湿霜和防晒霜。冬日的阳光和风对皮肤依然会很刺眼！
• 旅行配件： 带上现金腰带，方便探索时使用，并妥善保管护照、信用卡、酒店钥匙及其他必需品。可重复使用的手提袋适合一日游，减少塑料废弃物。它还能作为方便的日间背包，装下杂货、纪念品或你随身携带的任何物品。
• 急救包：带几张创可贴和水泡垫，适合长途步行或磨合新鞋时。欧洲的步道冬季可能湿滑或结冰，因此值得做好准备。在酒店或室内住宿时，防虫剂也是个好主意，因为那里可能会有虫子出现。
• 洗漱用品：保持牙刷、牙膏、除臭剂和护肤品等基本物品，装在旅行装容器中。洗漱包或收纳方块有助于保持物品整齐，方便携带。

你的随身行李应装下所有你想轻松取用的东西，从你离开车到抵达欧洲的那一刻。以下是冬季长途旅行中应随身携带的物品：

• 旅行必需品：请将护照、登机牌、旅行保险及任何药物等个人物品和贵重物品放入随身行李背包中。随身携带意味着您已准备好安检，且若计划中途变动，您不会被抓包。
• 电子设备和充电器：插座并不总是在你需要的位置，所以登机前请保持手机、平板或电子阅读器充满电。长途飞行和满天的旅行也意味着你的设备会非常辛苦。带上充电器和专为欧洲插座设计的通用适配器。澳大利亚使用Type I插头，但欧洲大多使用Type C、E或F型。
• 可重复使用的水瓶：长途飞行和干燥的机舱空气会让你很快脱水，尤其是在有中转的墨尔本到欧洲旅行中。带上一个可重复使用的水瓶，安检后可以补充水。这样可以省去途中买瓶装水，也能减少一次性塑料的使用。
• 衣物覆盖：从墨尔本飞往欧洲的航班可能会感到寒冷，尤其是在飞行数小时后。随身行李中带一条轻便的围巾或遮盖物，这样在飞行途中或等待转机期间可以保持温暖。

Yes, you can leave your car at Melbourne Airport in one of several onsite car parks. Whether you’re away for a week or longer, travelling light or with more luggage, these parking options offer convenience and flexibility to match your travel plans. Choose from:

• Value Car Parks: If you’re heading away for a longer European trip, the Value Car Parks offer a budget-friendly option.
  
  Value North Car Park has entrances on Mercer Drive and Airport Drive, with a free bus ride that runs every 15 minutes, night and day. The bus stops are near Terminal 1 for Qantas flights and international departures from Terminal 2, and near Terminal 4 to serve all other domestic flights, including Jetstar, Rex, Link Airways and Virgin Australia.
  
  The Value South Car Park is easy to reach from Airport Drive and is designed for domestic travellers flying through Terminal 4 and Terminal 3, with a direct free bus service to the T4 Transport Hub. When you land back in Melbourne, simply catch the same free bus back to your car for an easy journey home.
  
  Travelling during busy periods or school holidays? Consider booking Value Express, a valet-style service, within the Value North Car Park, which lets you drop your car off so you can move through departure day a little quicker.
• Terminal Car Parks: For a quicker walk to check-in, the T123 Terminal Car Park and T4 Terminal Car Park put you just minutes from the gates. Ideal for travellers flying internationally from T2, the T123 Terminal Car Park connects directly to Terminals 1, 2 and 3 via a covered link bridge, letting you park and head straight inside without needing a shuttle. If you’re starting your Euro trip with a domestic flight from T4, the T4 Terminal Car Park is just 100 metres from the entrance. With a mix of open-air and undercover spaces, these multi-level car parks offer a convenient option for travellers heading to Europe who want to park close and start their holiday with ease.
• Premium Car Parks: Located on Level 2 of the T123 Car Park and Level 1 of the T4 Car Park, the T123 Premium Car Park and T4 Premium Car Park offer the closest undercover parking bays to the terminals. They're perfect for travellers who don’t really want to pack light. Staying under cover from the car to check-in means you won’t have to worry about the weather as you start or end your trip. The T123 Premium Car Park is available only to pre-booked customers, while the T4 Premium Car Park is open to both drive-up and booked customers.
• Melbourne Airport Valet: When time’s tight and you want to get straight from your car to check-in, Melbourne Airport Valet makes it simple. Located on Level 1 of the T123 Terminal Car Park, you just drive in, hand over your keys, and head to the terminal entrances. It’s ideal for travellers carrying extra luggage or those wanting a smooth start to their European trip.
• Qantas Valet: Don’t want to book ahead? Qantas Valet requires no pre-booking. Just drive up to Level 1 of the T123 Terminal Car Park, hand over your keys, and head straight inside. It’s ideal for Qantas flyers, but you don’t need to be flying Qantas to use the service. Qantas Frequent Flyers earn points here too. While you’re away, you can request optional car cleaning so you can come home to a clean car.

PRO TIP: Thinking about renting a car or scooter to explore beyond the cities? Maybe driving through Spain’s countryside or touring France’s coast? Get an International Driving Permit and book your rental early via our Car Rentals page. Before you go, we also recommend checking with your GP to confirm any vaccinations you may need for your destinations.

Parking at Melbourne Airport offers options to suit a range of budgets and needs. The Value Car Park provides the most cost-effective choice for longer stays, with a shuttle service connecting you to the terminals. For those prioritising convenience, the T123 Terminal Car Park and T4 Terminal Car Park offer closer access, balancing ease with competitive pricing.

Premium options, including T123 Premium Car Park and T4 Premium Car Park, Melbourne Airport Valet, and Qantas Valet, put you even nearer to check-in, with rates reflecting the added convenience and extra services.

Whichever you choose, Melbourne Airport’s onsite parking gives you the flexibility to match your trip’s length and your personal preferences to your budget. You can check online prices on our booking website.

You don’t have to, but pre-boking airport parking removes the guesswork and lets you focus on your trip. Melbourne Airport lets you pre-book parking from as far ahead as 12 months to as late as two hours before arrival, making it easy to fit parking into your travel checklist.

Booking ahead can also make departure day smoother and more predictable because you get:

• More parking choices: Booking early means you can pick the parking option that suits your trip best, whether you’re away for a long holiday, prefer undercover parking, valet, or want to park closest to check-in.
• Better rates: Online bookings offer cheaper prices compared to driving up to the car park on the day, helping you save for your trip.
• Built-in grace period: All online bookings include a grace period. That’s an hour before and after your booking for short stays under four hours, or two hours for longer bookings. This flexibility helps if your Europe trip plans change or your flight schedule shifts.
• Faster entry and exit: Your booking details are stored in the system, so you can enter and leave using the QR code. No need to wait long and pay at the gate.
• Option to add Overstay Guarantee: You can add this when booking online for extra peace of mind. It covers you if your flight is delayed or cancelled due to airline issues, illness, or border restrictions, so you won’t pay extra.

Change of plans? You can modify or cancel your booking through Manage My Booking up to two hours before your scheduled entry time. If you’re already parked, you can extend your booking online before your booked exit time.

Preparing for your European winter trip means thinking ahead and ticking off all the essentials. From packing smart to choosing the right parking option at Melbourne Airport, every step helps make departure day smoother. Don’t forget to book your parking online ahead of time.

When you do, you’ll receive a QR code for fast entry and exit, giving you one less thing to worry about. Keep this alongside your travel documents and use our travel tips to stay organised right up to take-off. With everything in place, you’re all set to enjoy not just your destination but also your journey from Melbourne to Europe.
