Why Book the Night Before for Early Morning Flights
Most domestic check ins close 30 minutes before departure and international check in closes 60 minutes before. If you have a 6am international flight from T2, you need to be at the airport by 5am, which means leaving Melbourne around 4am. At that hour, rideshare apps are at their most expensive and least reliable. Booking in advance with us the night before guarantees your driver is there when you walk out the door.
