I was flying from Sydney to Melbourne for a few days to visit family, and as soon as arrived at this airport one word came to mind, CLEAN! Usually with the amount of people traffic that flows through an airport, there's that the dingy and dirty feeling, but Tullamarine Airport is top notch in the cleanliness department. I remember seeing employees picking trash often. Seems like they've remodeled, the décor and furniture is modern, and at the same time very cozy. And nowadays finding an outlet is key at airports, but here, there's heaps to go around, even in the food court area, such a plus! I like how there's an array of food and shopping options compared to other airports I've been too, and actually, I almost missed my flight since I lost track of time hanging out in the food area.
When I was flying out with Tiger Air, I noticed their gate spacing was a bit tight, made it a little confusing since the lines for another flight was also weaving into another gate, not until I asked an employee, she directed me to the right place, and I wasn't the only one.
This airport is the main airport into Melbourne but the caveat is that there's no train or bus transportation at the airport itself to take you to the city, but there are car & shuttle transportation services available. I highly recommend the Skybus shuttle, especially if you're heading into the CBD, and it's affordable.
