The Skybys ride went smoothly. It lasted about 25 minutes. The time passed very quickly. In a comfortable environment, one could enjoy the views from the upper wrap of the bus. A few minutes before the final station you could enjoy a beautiful view of downtown Melbourne. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for transportation from the airport to downtown Melbourne.

Booking the Skybus was simple. The fare was reasonable and the bus employees helped me with get my case both on and off the bus. I am 75 years old and not as spry as I used to be, and I really appreciated their friendliness and help. I enjoyed the quick trip with the view from upstairs. Many thanks to all of the staff involved.

The lovely lady checking our tickets was patient as I scrolled through my emails to find the QR code. Our driver was so kind and explained to me that, since covid the shuttle service to hotels has been discontinued. He then told me of my options and gave me directions to the closest cab rank.

    I am in IT so am very technical - the Headout app has terrible user experience and is not clear as to where the ticket and its QR code is. This delayed me getting on the bus. The staff at the airport skybus stand said lots of people have this issue and it slows them processing the travellers

    With regard to the transport from /to Melbourne airport Sky bus is a good choice for tourists. Whenever I come to Melbourne I usually take Sky bus to my hotel. There is the space for lugguage. The seat is comfortable. The fare is reasonable. The most important is that it runs very often
