I arrived at Tullamarine airport around 6am after a midnight flight from Perth & had quite a lit of large heavy luggage with me. I booked by ticket on the airport / Melbourne shuttle which was. As very easy process. I waited a while having a coffee & relax with the suitcases, ensuring that I'd be able to manuevre them easily onto the bus before heafing towards the shuttle. When I arrived at the shuttle, the lively helpful lady helped me with one, while I managed the other. She also helped load them into the storage area. She then even returned the trolley for me. The very best experience! Thank you 😊

While an airport transfer may not be the most exciting component of a holiday it is an important one for setting the stage in providing a positive introduction to a new city. As the options from Tullamarine airport are limited to road it is important that the Skybus provides a quality service which I am pleased to experience it did. The staff were efficient and friendly, providing helpful instructions and the driver delivered us in a timely manner. A very recommendable service.

The skybus was so easy to use, we booked our ticket online at the airport in sydney before we left and literally when we walked out of the airport in melbourne, the busses were right there waiting for us. The bus ride was smooth comfortable and had free wifi. Before we knew it we were in melbourne cbd within moments walk of trams busses and trains. Highly reccomend and will definitely use again.

    The staff was very friendly to me and helped me with my bags. I'm coming to Melbourne from the Gold Coast. They made the trip less stressful.
