What the Donnybrook Airport Run Looks Like
From Donnybrook the driver heads down the Hume Freeway and around the Western Ring Road. The distance is about 36.0 km and the usual door to terminal time is around 39 minutes, which is a normal traffic figure rather than a best case one.
With no toll anywhere on the way, the fare here is almost entirely distance. Donnybrook station is an easy pickup point if you are coming off the train, and it is simple for the driver to find.
This is one of the longer airport runs we cover, so an early departure needs a car sent out to Donnybrook well before your pickup time. Book the night before for anything leaving before 6am rather than calling on the morning.
For an international flight, allow about 3.7 hours between pickup in Donnybrook and departure. For a domestic flight, two hours is usually comfortable.
Returning the other way, tell us the flight number when you book. A car meeting a delayed flight is only useful if it knows the flight is delayed.
