From Armstrong Creek in Greater Geelong, we run both Melbourne Airport and Avalon. Choose the route guide that matches your ticket for timing and pricing detail.
From Armstrong Creek, Avalon is the shorter hop by about 60 km — handy when your airline sits there. Melbourne still wins when you need internationals or broader connections.
Ring-road and Princes Freeway links make either terminal realistic — Avalon for short domestics, Melbourne when the ticket needs the full network.

Avalon timing

What matters here
- Armstrong Creek travellers use one door for both Melbourne Airport and Avalon — the route changes with the ticket, not the pickup plan.
- New street names still confuse last-minute drivers; a booked transfer uses your pinned address and estate name.
- Young families prefer not to leave a car at either airport during school-holiday trips.
