For Domestic passengers, your Melbourne airport arrivals luggage can be collected downstairs on the ground floor level. Just follow the signs to the turnstiles and look out for your matching flight number.

For a small fee you can hire a luggage trolley, the stands can be found throughout the airport.

Where To Meet The Arrivals?

International Melbourne Airport arrivals can be met in the clearly marked area to meet and greet passengers upon arrival.

It is located next to the Groups and Tours desk at the southern end of Terminal 2 (T2) Arrivals. A large red sign clearly distinguishes the area.

Domestic Melbourne Airport arrivals can be met downstairs at the baggage turnstiles. Either that or at your pre-arranged destination inside or outside the terminals.

Can I Pick Up My Arrival Without Having To Park The Car?

Pick-up can be done by following the overhead signs at Arrivals Drive. Terminal parking is ideal for picking up Melbourne Airport arrivals passengers.

Vehicles collecting passengers at the front of the terminals must be attended at all times. Any vehicle left unattended will be subject to an immediate fine and may be towed.

Attended vehicles can only remain in the pick-up/drop-off area for a maximum of one minute.

Melbourne Airport has today opened 26 additional 1-minute pick-up bays in the forecourt area for general public, which aims to further reduce congestion in and around the airport precinct.

Capacity for private vehicles to pick-up passengers has increased via a fourth lane built as part of the Forecourt Redevelopment Stage 2 project.

Picking-up family and friends who are waiting for a ride in the forecourt can be done by following the overhead signs at Arrivals Drive that direct cars to the 1-minute pick-up lane 1 or lane 2.

Where To Park The Car At The Melbourne Airport

Ring & Ride

A convenient  location to wait for your arrival. The first 40 minutes parking at Ring & Ride is free, 60 minutes will cost you $4:00. After an hour, short term car park rates apply. An automatic pay station is available on site.

I personally found this to be quite an easy process. Once the plane had arrived, I just made contact and arranged to collect the passenger at the Pick up point outside the terminal.

See map link here for more information.

Once you park your car, collect your ticket and retain it making sure that you pay for your parking once you arrive back at the airport. You can do this at the convenient Long Term parking booths outside the terminals or at the parking bay stations.

Take note of where you have parked your car as the carpark is substantially large!
