What the Lynbrook Airport Run Looks Like
From Lynbrook the driver heads up the South Gippsland Freeway to the Monash and through CityLink. The distance is about 68.2 km and the usual door to terminal time is around 60 minutes, which is a normal traffic figure rather than a best case one.
From Lynbrook the car is on the freeway quickly, and once it is on the Monash the distance rate does most of the work on the fare. The toll shown is the measured CityLink figure for this route.
This is one of the longer airport runs we cover, so an early departure needs a car sent out to Lynbrook 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 4.0 hours between pickup in Lynbrook 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.
