What matters here
- Point Lonsdale travellers use one door for both Melbourne Airport and Avalon — the route changes with the ticket, not the pickup plan.
- Rip-side accommodation rarely includes spare parking for airport-length trips.
- Narrow coastal streets are awkward for last-minute vans when bags and wet-weather gear pile up.
