What the Frankston Airport Run Looks Like
From Frankston the driver heads through the tunnels on CityLink, or around the Ring Road when the city is busy. The distance is about 78.5 km and the usual door to terminal time is around 69 minutes, which is a normal traffic figure rather than a best case one.
This is one of the longer airport runs we cover, so an early departure needs a car sent out to Frankston 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 4.2 hours between pickup in Frankston 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.
