OOL to MEL Flights

Gold Coast and Melbourne Airports

Gold Coast Airport (OOL) used to be known as Coolangatta Airport. It has undergone an extensive terminal redevelopment, which transformed it into the modern and convenient airport it is today. There are multiple shops and dining options available at the main terminal of Gold Coast Airport. All Melbourne flights operate from this terminal.

If you are travelling to Gold Coast Airport via public transport, you can choose between public buses 777 and 761 or the Gold Coast Tourist Shuttle. For drivers, parking at Gold Coast Airport is very close to the terminal. You can choose between one short-term lot (under 10 hours) and three long-term lots with both covered and uncovered parking spaces.

Gold Coast to Melbourne flights land at Melbourne Airport (MEL), also known as Tullamarine Airport. Located 23 km northwest of the CBD, it is Australia’s second-busiest airport and one of four airports serving the Melbourne region.

Parking in the Terminal Carpark is recommended for anyone picking up passengers from the terminals, as cars can only stay in the pick-up area for one minute.
