Melbourne Avalon Airport in a nutshell
Avalon Airport is 15 km from Geelong and 50 km from Melbourne city centre.
It is mainly used by the low-cost airline Jetstar, which operates several flights a day to Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast airports.
Although a much closer and incomparably larger airport Melbourne MEL offers many more flights, including Jetstar flights to the same destinations, Avalon is popular for its very fast check-in and small terminal.
You'll be fine if you arrive at the airport 60 minutes before your flight.
Avalon Airport is the nearest starting point for road-trips along the Great Ocean Road, however, international visitors are better served by the aforementioned Melbourne MEL Airport, where all international flights go.
