The Trip in the Other Direction
Arriving rather than departing, the Ferntree Gully run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.
Your driver collects you from the terminal your flight lands at: Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for Virgin Australia and Terminal 4 for Jetstar and other low cost domestic airlines. Turn your phone on once you are off the plane and your driver confirms the meeting point. Bags on a domestic flight usually take 20 to 30 minutes, and an international arrival through customs takes longer, so book for your landing time and let the flight tracking do the rest.
If someone is being collected who would rather not navigate the terminal alone, meet and greet at $35 puts the driver inside with them.
