Curlewis pickups for either runway
We collect from your Curlewis address and drive to whichever terminal is on your ticket — Melbourne (~95 km) or Avalon (~36 km).
Curlewis travellers book fixed-fare pickups toward Tullamarine (~95 km) or Avalon (~36 km). Use the airport cards below to open the matching guide.
From Curlewis, Avalon is the shorter hop by about 59 km — handy when your airline sits there. Melbourne still wins when you need internationals or broader connections.
Peninsula exits into Geelong come first; summer weekends and school traffic stretch the leave-home window more than a map suggests.
