Who flies from here
Virgin Australia domestic
Virgin Australia domestic flights arrive at Terminal 3. If your flight number starts with VA and you did not leave the country, this is where you land.
Next door to international
T3 shares a building with Terminal 2, so meeting a family member off an international flight means a short indoor walk, not a shuttle.
Ground floor arrivals
Baggage and the exit are on the same level, with no lift or escalator between the carousel and the kerb.
Quick turnarounds
Domestic bags are usually on the belt within ten minutes, which is why 20 minutes of free waiting is generous rather than tight.
Where to walk
Meeting your driver
Your driver waits at the kerb outside the Terminal 3 arrivals doors, with their name, photo and plate number sent to you by text before you land.
Before you land
A text arrives with your driver's name, photo, plate number and the exact spot to walk to.
When you land
Collect your bag and walk straight out. If you travelled with carry-on only, message your driver from the aerobridge and they will already be moving.
If you are held up
You have 20 minutes of free waiting from the moment the aircraft is on the ground, and a delayed flight moves the pickup rather than costing you anything.

Terminal 3 questions
Is Terminal 3 Virgin or Qantas?
Virgin Australia. Qantas domestic uses Terminal 1. Terminal 3 has changed hands between carriers at other Australian airports, which is why people second-guess it, but at Melbourne it is Virgin.
I booked with Virgin but the flight is operated by someone else. Which terminal?
Check the operating carrier on your boarding pass rather than who sold you the ticket. Easier still, give us the flight number at booking and we resolve the terminal for you.
Can you pick up from T3 late at night?
Yes, at any hour, at the same price. There is no late-night surcharge on this brand.
I am travelling with a pram and a car seat. Which vehicle?
A sedan takes a pram and two bags comfortably. With a pram plus a full-size suitcase each, choose the SUV. Tell us the children's ages and we fit the right restraint before the driver leaves, at $10 per seat.
Do you wait if my bag does not turn up?
You get 20 minutes free, and if you are filing a lost-bag report call the number in your confirmation. We would far rather hold the car than have you walk out to nothing.
