Avalon Airport (AVV), officially Melbourne Avalon Airport, is in Avalon within Greater Geelong, Victoria, Australia. It has domestic and international passenger terminals, with Jetstar using both according to the flight. For travel into Melbourne, SkyBus serves Southern Cross Station via Werribee; for a train connection, Route 18 links the airport with Lara Station.

Choosing your terminal at Avalon Airport

Domestic Terminal

Jetstar operates domestic flights through Avalon Airport's domestic terminal. Check your e-ticket for the airport code as well as the terminal, then follow the airline's instructions for check-in and baggage. If your journey contains separate bookings, read the details of each flight before arranging your onward transport.

International Terminal

Jetstar also operates international flights through Avalon's international terminal. A domestic flight and an international flight need different departure arrangements, so confirm the terminal for the actual flight you have booked. Keep your booking details available when asking the airline for assistance.

Getting to Melbourne and Geelong from Avalon Airport

SkyBus to Melbourne

SkyBus Avalon City Express picks up outside the terminal and travels to Southern Cross Station in Melbourne via Werribee. Choose the stop that fits your destination, then plan the final part of your journey from that stop. Before travelling back to AVV, check the current departure options and select a service that fits your airline's check-in advice.

Route 18 and Lara Station

Route 18 connects Avalon Airport with Lara Station, where you can change to train services. The airport bus stop is at the domestic terminal. This option involves a bus and train connection, rather than a train boarding directly at the airport. Use the transport journey planner to check both parts of your trip and allow for the change at Lara.

MyBus and road transfers

MyBus offers booked transfers between Avalon and Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast. Confirm your collection address and destination when booking. Taxi, rideshare and car rental are also available at Avalon Airport; check the pick-up instructions for the option you choose before leaving the terminal.

Parking for a trip through Avalon

Parking is available outside the terminals, with short-term and long-stay choices. Match your parking arrangement to whether you are collecting a passenger or leaving the car while you travel. Read the current booking conditions and check the location of your selected car park before driving to AVV.

Opening hours and Wi-Fi at Avalon Airport

Passenger terminal hours

Avalon Airport's passenger terminal opens at 4am and closes at midnight. If you have an early departure or arrive late, plan your transport around those hours. The terminal's opening time and your airline's check-in requirements are separate details: confirm both before deciding when to arrive.

Connecting to the internet

Free Wi-Fi is available in the terminals at Avalon Airport. Follow the network instructions to connect, then retrieve your e-ticket or contact the person collecting you. Keeping your booking details available before travelling also helps when you need to check the terminal or vehicle pick-up information.

Preparing for your flight at Avalon Airport

Confirm AVV on your booking, the type of flight and the passenger terminal before you leave for the airport. Follow Jetstar's advice on arrival time, baggage and travel documents for your booking. For international travel, consult the destination authority's entry requirements before departure.
