What matters on this run
- Eastern View travellers choose Melbourne Airport when they need internationals or wider airline choice than Avalon’s Jetstar schedule.

Timing for this suburb
Eastern View to Melbourne Airport is about 130 km. The Great Ocean Road climb toward Lorne or back through Aireys/Anglesea both take time before freeway kilometres begin.
