What the Lyndhurst Airport Run Looks Like
From Lyndhurst the driver heads out along the Western Port Highway, up the Monash Freeway and through CityLink. The distance is about 70.1 km and the usual door to terminal time is around 62 minutes, which is a normal traffic figure rather than a best case one.
The Western Port Highway gets the car to the freeway quickly from most of Lyndhurst. Citybound Monash traffic on a weekday morning is the main thing that stretches this trip, so allow extra time for a flight before 9am.
This is one of the longer airport runs we cover, so an early departure needs a car sent out to Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst 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.
