Newtown to Avalon — timed for Jetstar mornings
Newtown Geelong airport transfers — close to the CBD with calm residential pickups for Melbourne Airport and Avalon flights. Guide distance about 24 km (25–30 min), from $55 sedan one-way.
Newtown travellers often combine city proximity with quieter streets. We time collections for Aphrasia Street and surrounding blocks so you clear Avalon check-in or Tullamarine international without a CBD hotel shuttle shuffle.
