I was flying in to Melbourne and had previously used the Skybus service. I purchased the ticket online prior to departure from my home city, this conveniently gives a choice of both hard copy or soft copy App tickets. The service is frequent, quick and efficient. The staff are friendly and helpful. Over the years I have found Skybus to be an excellent reliable service. A discount applies if you purchase a return ticket! 👍👍👍

Took the Skybus back to the airport in Melbourne and honestly—it was SO easy 😄 Booked the ticket online while we were still enjoying brunch and coffee, rocked up to the Skybus stop, flashed the QR code, hopped on… and next thing you know, we’re at the airport. Done! Super simple, super affordable, and the staff were all really friendly and helpful too. Definitely my go-to for getting around Melbourne from now on.

I enjoyed the trip from Tullamarine T3 to the drop off point in Southern Cross Rail Station. Coach was modern and comfortable, ticket check staff and driver were warm and friendly. Ticket purchase via smartphone screen felt fussy and difficult. I won't do it again - I thought it would be something to do while waiting for a suitcase at bag claim. Next trip, I will choose the kiosk to buy the ticket.

Arrived at the airport and found the skybus pickup terminal with ease. You can purchase your tickets online or at the airport pick-up point. Was so easy and the trip was only 30 minutes. There is also a bus to the Mornington Peninsular which I wish I had purchased a ticket for instead of catching the train. Next time that's the way I'll go.

Bus unloading & offloading smooth & convenient. Ground staff usually very helpful & patient. Ticketing online straight forward, although the change to using the Headout App was unexpected. Hope fully it will prove to be as useful as direct ticketing was. No air conditioning on one very hot Melbourne day; very uncomfortable ride on a full bus

The booking experience was smooth, the double-decker bus was waiting outside the terminal upon arrival, so we could could hop straight on and enjoy our comfortable ride into the city, sitting upstairs with great view throughout the drive. The terminal is located very centrally, facilitating our onward journey

Very convenient! I booked a round trip bus ticket online just before boarding my plane to Melbourne. Since my arrival (4AM) and departure (5:55AM) times were rather unlikely hours for a lone traveler, I needed a sure and safe transit to and from the airport. The shuttle bus made my travel very very easy!
