Melbourne Airport Map: Terminals, Transport & Arrivals Guide
Getting ready for your trip to Melbourne? Tullamarine is a big, busy airport, but it reads more easily than it looks once you see how the four terminals fit together. In this guide, we go over the Melbourne Airport Map so you can make your journey through Melbourne’s airport as smooth as possible, including how to walk between terminals, which one you’ll need, where to park, and where to meet your ride.

Melbourne Airport Map: The Four Terminals Layout
Everything at Tullamarine runs along one line. Four terminals, one road, one landside precinct, so you can move between them without leaving the building. There is no train to the airport as of July 2026 (the Melbourne Airport Rail line is still being built), so it is all road access. T1 and T2 are joined by a covered walkway, and T3 and T4 sit together a short way south of T2. Once that shape clicks, the signage does the rest.

Melbourne Airport T1, T2, T3 and T4: The Terminal Breakdown
The Melbourne Airport T1, T2, T3 and T4 layout, it turns out, is quite simple. Unlike many other major airports, the four different Melbourne Airport terminals are connected to each other, so you can quite easily move between them if you end up at the incorrect one.
But, let’s not let that happen. Below, you can see which terminal handles what type of flight, which airlines. T2 is the international terminal, which will handle every overseas arrivals and departures.
Terminal | Handles | Airlines |
T1 | Domestic | |
T2 | International | All international carriers; Qantas and Jetstar international routes. |
T3 | Domestic | |
T4 | Domestic (budget and regional) | Jetstar, Rex, Link Airways |
There are a couple of things that catch people out. The first is that Qantas flies international routes from T2, but if you’re flying domestic with Qantas, you need to go to T1. The second is that Jetstar, a popular domestic airline in Australia, doesn’t fly out of the T1 domestic, but uses T4 instead.

Melbourne International Terminal Map
T2 is Melbourne's International Terminal, where all international carriers will arrive and depart. Below, you can see how the terminal is laid out.
Walking Between the Terminals at Melbourne Airport
All four terminals are connected landside, so you can walk between them if you somehow end up at the wrong terminal, or are transferring from an international flight to a domestic one (or vice versa).
Adjacent terminals are a quick hop, but the longest stretch, from the T1/T2 end down to T3 and T4, is a proper walk with luggage. It'll take about 15 minutes.
Also note that the departure gates at T4 sit a bit farther from its security, so you’ll need a little bit more breathing room if you’re flying out of that terminal.
If you are parking, the free Value Car Park courtesy shuttle runs 24/7 every 15 minutes and stops at T1 and T4 (a short walk from T2 and T3). That shuttle is for car park users rather than a general terminal-transfer bus, so if you are not parking, plan to walk.

Melbourne Airport Arrivals: Where to Meet Your Ride
As you arrive at Melbourne Airport, you’ll pick up your luggage before moving out onto towards the public transport options for getting into the city. Here’s all the details you need to know depending on how you’re getting from Melbourne Airport to the city.
- SkyBus is the major public transport link between Melbourne Airport and the CBD. It has designated pickup points outside T1, T3 and T4. If you land international at T2, walk over toward T1 to catch it. One-way is $25.90 and return is $43.40.
- Rideshare (Uber, Ola, DiDi) uses set zones, marked by green "Rideshare Pickup" signs. Qantas (T1), international (T2) and Virgin Australia (T3) passengers are picked up from lane 1 of the forecourt. Jetstar, Rex and Link Airways (T4) passengers are picked up from level 2 inside the T4 Ground Transport Hub, but there’s often a longer wait here than if you were to just walk over to T3 for your ride.
- Taxis wait at ranks close to every terminal. The T4 rank is on the ground level of the At Terminal T4 Car Park. A taxi to the city takes approximately 30 minutes and runs about $55 to $65.
- A friend in a car should make use of the official Wait Zone (corner of Mercer Drive and Melrose Drive), where they have 1 hour of free parking. Then, when you're ready, they can drive across to the kerbside pick-up and drop-off lanes, which allow for a 5-minute stop.
If I’m the one doing a pickup at an airport, I would always make use of a free Waiting Zone rather than circling the airport or paying for parking. Park, wait for the "got my bags" text, and then I would drive up to the public pickup zone.

Melbourne Airport Parking Map

At first glance, Melbourne Airport parking can be quite confusing, but I’m here to make it easy. In short, there are five different parking areas at Melbourne Airport, laid out by how close they sit to the terminals.
- Value car parks (North and South): Value Car Parks are exactly what they say on the tin; the cheapest parking you can get at the airport. They’re open-air and the farthest from the terminals (hence the lower price), and come with a free courtesy shuttle to get you to the departure halls. Value North's shuttle stops at T1 and T4; Value South runs to the T4 Transport Hub only.
- Terminal car parks: These are the parking areas closest to the door. The T123 Terminal Car Park sits directly opposite T1, T2 and T3 via a link bridge. The T4 Terminal Car Park is about 100 m from T4. The first 15 minutes are free for both of these parking areas, which suits quick drop-offs and pickups.
- Premium car parks: These are the undercover bays inside the terminal car parks, the closest you can get to check-in.
- Valet and Qantas Valet: For a bit more of a luxurious service, Melbourne Airport also has a Valet option located on Level 1 of the T123 car park. Drop the car and someone parks it for you, leaving you with your bags to check-in.
- Wait Zone: This is a free parking area where you can wait for up to 60 minutes, ideal if you’re waiting to pick someone up.
My recommendation is to take advantage of the Value car parks’ affordable price.
Some tips to remember: Always book your space in advance to ensure you’ll be able to enter the parking area, as it’s quite busy. And remember to give yourself some extra time to find a park and wait for the shuttle; I’d recommend budgeting another 30 minutes or so to reach the check-in counters. Finally, when you've found a park, remember to take a photo of where your car is with some sort of identifying sign included in the image so you can find your way back easily upon your return.

Dining and Shopping at Melbourne Airport
T2, as the designated terminal for international departures, has the biggest selection of cafes, restaurants, and duty-free shopping. It’s also the busiest terminal, and requires a bit of extra time to get through the lines at security.
T1, handling the busy domestic schedule from Qantas, has a good amount of shops and restaurants on Level 1, and on Level 2, the main Qantas lounges.
T3, designated for Virgin Airlines departures, and T4, designated departures for the budget airlines, share a security checkpoint and general concourse dining area connected by a mezzanine-level walkway. The selection of places to eat and buy food for your flight is quite good!

The hotel's location is excellent. Being in the free zone, there are different tram lines passing by both in front and behind the hotel, making it incredibly convenient to get anywhere. 👍
Although the hotel is quite old, the facilities are well-maintained, 👍 clean and hygienic. 👍 The rooms are also very bright and spacious.
To my surprise, when I first entered the room, there was a welcome message on the TV screen! 🤗
What I appreciated most was the large round table, where the whole family could sit together and eat. 👏👏👏 However, there were only two dining chairs, plus the computer chair, so we were still short one chair. On our first day, we tried calling housekeeping for a long time, but no one answered. We then called the front desk, who said they would follow up, but nothing came of it. On the third day, because we needed more toilet paper, we called the front desk again. A staff member brought the tissue, and we also mentioned that we needed an extra dining chair. That staff member called someone who seemed to be from the engineering department. He checked the style of the existing chairs and then brought over a chair of the same style. 🙏 It turns out they had to match the style! 😅
One thing to note is that even though the bathroom has a wet/dry separation, water easily splashes out of the bathtub when showering, getting the floor wet.
I highly recommend the steakhouse downstairs, 7 Alfred – it's absolutely delicious! 😋FromCAD 187

I stayed at the Grand Hyatt from 1st Aug to 9th aug in a yarra river view room. The check in was seamless, room was large and spacious. However a few arises raised throughout t he stay. The room was made but bedsheets not changed even after 3 nights. I had to call in to the guest concierge to get them to change the sheets in the middle of the night. Reason my son has respiratory issues and is allergic to dirt and dust. We were informed that housekeeping only starts on 4th day morning 9am and we had to wait the next day. The hot water connection was also bad in the room.whenever I was showering in the main standing shower and my wife came in to use the common sink to wash my son's milk bottles. The moment she turns on hot water from the sink, the hot water from the shower area would automatically be cut. I would feel shots of ice cold water sprayed onto me whilst soaping or in midst of shower. Not a pleasant experience. I highlighted upon check out but the receptionist lady Daphene was instead thinking I did not know how to to operate a shower tap. She was clearly not listening and even her trainee standing behind her was giggling at the nonsense. Lastly Daphene automatically wanted to charge me on the deposit for the full stay despite it was fully paid on Trip.com. when I told her it was already a paid stay she told me she didnt have it on record as it was a 3rd party stay. What a disgrace of a hotel and bad customer serviceFromCAD 280

The hotel is in the city center, which makes getting around very convenient. However, the entrance is quite small and easy to miss. The decor and design style really capture a Melbourne vibe – it's minimalist yet very artistic. The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate, and I'd say it offers good value for money. I had requested a quiet room when booking, but on the first night, the Indian guy at the front desk assigned me a room close to the train tracks. I have to commend Trip.com here. After I reported the issue, they immediately contacted the hotel and helped me switch rooms. The customer service representative was incredibly diligent and responsible, proactively following up until the problem was resolved. She definitely deserves praise!FromCAD 261

i got the corner room which i feel is certainly sizeable for my room type. the room is clean and up to my standards, including the bedsheets and duvet.
in terms of location, it's in the heart of the cbd and an absolute bargain for the price point. it's about a 2-3 minute walk from the tram stop but do take note it's a slight uphill, nothing crazy though. there's also food options just below the hotel which is extremely convenient.
the service is excellent with friendly staff.
in terms of amenities, it has the basics - cups, towels, etc. the water heater seems a little faulty as it fluctuates between cool and warm but again, this is something i find manageable.FromCAD 110

Location: easy 3-6 min walk to Southern Cross station and the skybus station which made reaching the hotel from melbourne airport extremely convenient (~40 mins). It's close to many cozy and prolific cafés for breakfast/brunch, lunch. Ease of access to gift shops, electronics, and post boxes as well.
Amenities: Gym is available. Laundry with washers and dryers are also available but prepare coins.
Security: Staffed during the day, and the automatic doors in the main hotel entrance could only be opened with keycards at night. Good safety.
Service: Hospitable staff. Had issues with my room and they were happy to assist.
Room: I booked the single room. Quaint and tiny. Room's very dark and quiet at night. Great sleep. Bathroom is equipped with heat lamps and exhaust fans which made super comfortable for a winter stay. Didn't use the AC much but I tried it out just to see that it worked. Runs well even though it's a bit noisy if you're sleeping. Towels and sheets mostly clean. I noticed some stains on the bedding once but otherwise good.FromCAD 87

1. The hotel's location is excellent. It's in the city center, and you can reach any attraction within a 10-15 minute walk or by taking the free light rail.
2. The rooms are well-equipped with basic amenities. Both rooms were spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel has coin-operated washing machines and dryers. In the room, there's a TV, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and cutlery. There was plenty of space for our luggage and a stroller, even for our group of four, which included a 4-year-old child.
3. We stayed for two nights. After the first night, there was only about a third of the toilet paper left, and the cleaning staff didn't replenish it in the morning. We had to use our own tissues midway through, which was a bit inconvenient.FromCAD 170

Mixed Experience: Great property, but terrible front desk service and communication
I recently stayed at this property, and while the physical facilities and overall environment were quite lovely, my stay was completely tarnished by a deeply unpleasant interaction with the front desk team on my final day.
Out of nowhere, I received a phone call from a male staff member demanding to know why I hadn't checked out. His tone was extremely unfriendly, defensive, and accusatory. When I politely explained that my booking was confirmed through the following day, instead of simply double-checking their own records, he insisted their system showed otherwise and rudely demanded that I come down immediately, threatening that we would be removed from the property if I didn't.
When I went down to the front desk with my confirmation in hand, it turned out to be an internal error on their end. While they did eventually offer a resolution to fix their mistake, the male staff member never even bothered to offer a basic apology for his aggressive attitude, false accusation, or the disruption caused to my stay. Accusing a paying guest of overstaying and threatening eviction due to a fault in your own system—without even saying ”sorry”—is completely unacceptable and highly unprofessional.
It is a real shame because the hotel itself is nice, clean, and well-located. However, customer service is about how you handle issues when they arise, and the front desk staff’s lack of courtesy, accountability, and basic manners left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I hope management addresses this staff member's behavior and system communication errors, as guests deserve to be treated with respect, not hostility.FromCAD 120

Unfortunately, my experience at Novotel Melbourne Central was quite disappointing, especially considering that I had a very positive experience at Novotel Sydney, where my daughter and I were treated with great kindness and hospitality.
I had an issue with the breakfast arrangement that was handled in a very uncomfortable and embarrassing way.
At check-in, I specifically asked to add breakfast for the three days of our stay. I explained that I am an ALL – Accor Live Limitless member and that I had received an email stating that ALL members would receive a discount on breakfast. The receptionist confirmed the benefit and also told me that my 11-year-old daughter would not be charged. I was informed that the total cost for breakfast for the three days would be AUD 56. I paid the amount at check-in and, naturally, assumed everything had been correctly arranged.
However, the following morning, when we went to breakfast, the staff member told me that breakfast was not included in my reservation. I explained that I had specifically added it during check-in and showed him the payment receipt from my card. Instead of simply checking the situation and resolving what was clearly a possible system or communication error, I was repeatedly questioned: who had checked me in, when I had become an ALL member, and whether I had any proof that breakfast had been added.
The whole situation was extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. I had done exactly what was required at check-in, had paid for the breakfast, and had proof of the payment. Nevertheless, I felt as though my word was being questioned.
I explained that I would make a complaint. The staff member then reluctantly took down my room number and directed us to a table next to the service area, despite there being several vacant tables in the main dining area. This made the situation even more unpleasant.
I understand that mistakes can happen, particularly if there is an issue with the hotel system or communication between staff members. What I found unacceptable was the way the situation was handled. It gave me the impression that the staff may not have received adequate training on how to deal with guests when an operational error occurs. The appropriate approach would have been to acknowledge the possibility of a mistake, verify the payment and resolve the issue discreetly and courteously, rather than making the guest feel embarrassed or disbelieved.
Unfortunately, I also experienced problems with the cleanliness of the room. The bed was poorly made, the toilet and sink were clearly not properly cleaned, and a cup had been placed wet on the tray. These details contributed significantly to my overall negative impression of the hotel.
This was particularly disappointing because our experience at Novotel Sydney was excellent. We were welcomed warmly, treated very well and felt genuinely looked after throughout our stay. Unfortunately, our experience in Melbourne was very different.
I hope the hotel management will take this feedback seriously, particularly regarding staff training, guest communication and housekeeping standards. The issue could have been handled very differently and would have avoided turning a simple operational mistake into an unpleasant and embarrassing experience.FromCAD 135

I booked this hotel during a Ctrip promotion, and honestly, the price was a steal at 1000/night. First, the pros:
Location: It's right in the city center, first ring, free zone. You can take the tram for a free city walk. If you're on a day tour, the bus pick-up point is just a two-minute walk away.
The front desk staff, Holy, and the senior gentleman from concierge were both very nice.
Now, for the cons:
The coffee spoon wasn't clean, it was dirty. The minibar fridge had cooling issues; the bottom was full of water. These, I could overlook.
However, and seriously, as a Hyatt Globalist, I rarely stay at InterContinental, and I have never, in all my previous experiences, encountered an unlocked room door. I left my room early Friday morning for a day tour and returned at 9:30 PM to find my room door unlocked, just as pictured. I was shocked. The next day, I spoke to the duty manager, and they checked the surveillance footage, confirming that no one had entered my room. But my stay experience was truly poor. Such carelessness, forgetting to lock the guest's door after cleaning. Plus, this hotel's elevators don't require a room card swipe. At 9:30 PM, both the front desk and concierge were empty, making it easy for anyone to access any floor.
I somewhat regret not spending a bit more to stay at the Grand Hyatt. Also, I heard this hotel is rebranding to Regent, oh my! InterContinental truly feels like a makeshift operation. To think they dare to rebrand to Regent like this! This hotel usually sells at the same price as the Grand Hyatt, and if it weren't for this promotion, I definitely wouldn't have chosen it. InterContinental left such a terrible impression on me; it's really hard not to come here and complain.FromCAD 297

My parents and I stayed at Oaks Melbourne on Market from 24 to 26 July, and we had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well looked after.
A special thank you to Fardin and Betty for their exceptional service. My luggage was lost in transit on my flight from Sydney to Melbourne, which was understandably stressful. I explained the airline’s delivery arrangements to Fardin, and he was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He kept me informed, provided updates, and promptly let me know when my luggage arrived at the hotel. His attentiveness and reassurance made a worrying situation much easier to manage.
Betty also provided outstanding customer service and made both me and my family feel incredibly welcome. Her warmth and hospitality added a personal touch to our stay and left a lasting impression.

Overall, not a bad stay despite the various pain points. Expected more from a hotel tied to Ascott though.
Pros:
Located right infront of a free tram zone in the heart of CBD. Easily accessible to variety of places - mostly walkable.
Pretty big room - has a separate living room
Has a kitchenette as well as cabinet filled with cutleries, cooking pots & pans.
Service was rather nice very helpful in various issues and also can receive packages. (However, one staff wasn’t very nice to us but very nice to the Caucasian couples who cut in front of us. Our keycard were locked for some reason and went to her for help - verification wasn’t very thorough like the other staff & when we feedback that our keycard that was left in the room was taken away after housekeeping she was unbothered - could seriously be a safety issue esp for ladies if the housekeeper was shady. Thankfully our check-in staff had deactivated it for room access and made it only usable for electricity)
Laundromat was rather cheap - AUD6
Cons:
Place is a little hard to spot - doesn’t have a big entrance door that is spottable.
Hallways of the rooms looks kind of old - felt shady (but that’s just exterior, inside itself is fine)
Housekeeping is only done every 3 days - left our takeaway bags & trash for 3 days and there was cockroach nymph. Not super thorough in cleaning too (we left an iron board infront of the desk that covered the dustbin and it wasn’t emptied, had to use a paper bag to hold our thrash - but again also seem like a pro cause they don’t touch your things?)
Although filled with amenities but also doesn’t seem to be filled? - no bowls, no dishwasher & soap (please bring/buy your own to wash)
Only rain shower head available, no second detachable shower head. No bidet.
Room walls are quite thin - can hear the outside easily but am not easily bothered. (Good for those who cares to take note)
On the last day, aircon had issue - kept turning on & off on its own (quite loud that I heard it during my sleep (I’m a light sleeper))
Also, they got no memory foam pillows & beds were rollable. No locks so our beds were constantly moving around.
Bring adapters!! - not a big con & should be well prepared but they only have wall outletsFromCAD 170

Stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne – Flinders Street for a short city break. The location is excellent, directly opposite Flinders Street Station and within easy walking distance of Federation Square, the Yarra River, restaurants and Melbourne's laneways.
The hotel itself is functional rather than impressive. It appears to be a converted office building, which means the layout is a little different from purpose-built hotels and there are no particularly memorable views despite the prime location. The room was comfortable enough, but the finishes and fixtures lacked the polished feel I've experienced at other DoubleTree properties. Business travellers looking for a more premium or contemporary fit-out may find it falls short of expectations.
During our stay there was an issue with our baggage, however the staff handled the situation professionally, resolved the problem and provided complimentary drink vouchers as a goodwill gesture, which was appreciated.
One disappointment was that the gym was closed during our stay, as this is a facility I normally like to use when travelling.
Overall, the hotel's strongest selling point is its outstanding location. It works well as a tourist base for exploring Melbourne, but business travellers who prioritise hotel facilities, room finishes and a more modern feel may prefer some of the newer hotels in the CBD.FromCAD 193

I stayed here for two nights, and the Ctrip price for this hotel was significantly lower than on other platforms. For the same price, other hotels weren't as new. Comparing them, this hotel is ideal, from its location to its rooms. The hotel also has USB ports on its outlets.
From a distance while walking along the river, you can easily spot the 'vibe' blue letters on the building, making it easy to find your way back. There's a path right outside the entrance that crosses the river. The Urban Rooms are located on floors below the sixth floor. If you want a view, you should opt for a River View Room on the sixth floor or higher.

Had a fantastic stay in Melbourne's Chinatown area. The staff were incredibly helpful and always smiling, especially the young Vietnamese receptionist who made our check-in and overall stay extra special! The room was clean, spacious, and came with a full kitchen. The balcony also offered a charming view. With a variety of restaurants downstairs and just across the street, the location was super convenient. Highly recommend!FromCAD 146

The hotel is clean and very busy during the morning time. Dont say about the reception area because it just too crowded. The fact that they provide luggage storage before check in also very helpful for us. The only cons is the hotel is too busy and full with people, there were people open/close the door non stop for 10minutes with loud voices in front of our room around 5pm.FromCAD 125

A simple and compact hotel. It's close to the train station, and there are restaurants and fast food options nearby, which is convenient for late-night snacks. If you have high expectations, you might be disappointed as the photos don't quite match reality.FromCAD 83

Booked a triple room with a king bed and an extra single bed. Overall service was quite nice! The only downside was that the room only had a bathtub, no separate shower. The hotel breakfast was decent, served on the 35th floor (which seemed to be the executive lounge level). It was mostly Western-style breakfast (various breads, vegetable salad, sausages, ham, fried eggs), but they also had miso soup, congee, and Chinese crullers! You need to ask the waitstaff for tea and coffee (they have several varieties), and they'll bring it to your table.FromCAD 312

I had a great stay at Melbourne City Backpackers. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Southern Cross Station, trams, and plenty of cafés and restaurants, which made getting around Melbourne really easy.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations or any questions. The hostel had a good social atmosphere without feeling like a party hostel, so it was easy to meet other travellers while still getting a good night’s sleep.
The rooms and shared bathrooms were kept clean, and the free breakfast was a nice bonus. Overall, it’s great value for money, especially if you’re looking for a central place to stay in Melbourne. I’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it to other backpackers.FromCAD 25

It's about 20 minutes' drive from the city center. There are many trams available, so the transportation is quite convenient. The room is quite clean, the space is large, and the environment is quiet. Some rooms have washing machines and simple cooking utensils, making it convenient for long-term stays. Unfortunately, there are no large shopping malls nearby. For shopping and dining, you have to go to the city center or distant towns.FAQs About Melbourne Airport Maps
