About this route

London to Melbourne flights

London to Melbourne follows the same pattern as London to Sydney, requiring one stop with total journey times of 22-24 hours. The most common routing options are via Singapore (Singapore Airlines or Qantas), via Dubai (Emirates), or via Doha (Qatar Airways). Each offers different connection times and second-leg durations.

Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL) has four terminals. T2 handles international arrivals for most carriers. Qantas domestic uses T1, and other domestic carriers use T3 and T4. From landing to exit at T2 is typically 30-45 minutes, including Australian immigration and biosecurity screening. The same strict declaration rules apply as at Sydney. SmartGate automated processing is available for eligible passport holders.

The SkyBus express runs from the airport to Southern Cross Station in Melbourne's CBD every 10 minutes (30-minute journey, 24 hours a day). Taxis to the CBD take 25-35 minutes on the Tullamarine Freeway. Rush hour traffic (7-9am, 4-6pm) can extend this to 45 minutes or more. A landing alert gives family members time to check traffic conditions and plan accordingly.

Melbourne is 10-11 hours ahead of London, depending on whether Australian Eastern Daylight Time is in effect (October-April). When they land at 6am Melbourne time on Tuesday, it is 7-8pm Monday evening in the UK. Track both segments of the journey separately for complete coverage. The second leg from Singapore, Dubai, or Doha is typically 7-14 hours depending on the routing.
