This is my new home for Airport Parking when travelling out of Melbourne. Upon arrival with my pre-paid ticket, the barcode didn't work, but the attendant immediately let me in. Whilst I parked, the office organised my exit ticket, so we weren't delayed at all.
The bus trip was quick to the terminal, only delayed by Airport traffic itself, so that was painless.
The only problem we had was the 10-15 minute wait for a pick-up. That being said, the driver was friendly and apologised, too. So we were all-in-all happy.
The prices here are cheaper than the competitors, so definitely worth a look if you're travelling out from Tullamarine.
Approximate cost: $15
I went here to buy some goodies for afternoon tea on a Sunday. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and were happy to find out info for me as needed. The Custard Tart and Vanilla Slice we ordered were excellent quality, and much enjoyed!
Approximate cost: $4.00
I've flown with Tiger many times, and have had many flight delays with them. The worst was when they cancelled a flight the night before travel, forcing the purchase of alternative flights on a competitor, at astronomical prices! And, of course, they don't care.
My tip is to look at their airfare sales, and try and get JetStar to price match them.
Approximate cost: $50
These guys have got it spot-on! Their noodles are excellent and all freshly prepared in their open kitchen. The servings are huge, big enough for 2 people, or for tomorrow's lunch! The staff are friendly, always there to greet you with a smile.
Approximate cost: $9.00
Went here before a movie on a Sunday. Things I noticed:
- No $7 footlong subs available. Cheapest was $8.95.
- I ordered a cup for my drink... went to refill, was rudely told that "We don't do refills." Which is odd... why would the drink refill machine be in a public area if that was the case??
Also, my partner asked for her sub to be 'lightly toasted'... after a few moments of discussions, this was done. Apparently, the adjective 'lightly' was confusing.
So, the food was as you'd expect, prices more expensive than the norm, and the service was severely lacking.
Approximate cost: $8.95
Stopped in for a beer after the footy. Seemed like an average price. Service was a little slow, not much ambience.
Good cheap food menu.
Approximate cost: $15
Went here on a Saturday arvo... Very easy to get a nice sandwich, good quality, and the service was delivered with a smile!
Approximate cost: $7.00
Attended here on Friday, we were a group of 4. We ordered the Meat Mezze set menu, just to make things easier. This was the easy part of the evening.
After 10 minutes, our Saganaki and chicken arrived. It was nice. We waited another half hour, and then prompted the waitresses to bring out the remainder of our entree: the dips. They were nice, but we didn't think they were worth that wait!
Another HOUR elapsed, and we had to again prompt the waitress for our mains. The amount of food was inadequate for the price paid and we left hungry.
Next time, if there is one, we'll order individual meals, and not attend on a Friday or Saturday.
Approximate cost: $25
Went here, and they were having a massive clearance. Great prices, good quality.
The service was non-existent, waited a few minutes at the counter before someone realised I wanted to give them money for goods.
Went here on a Sunday, and bought myself a new pair of shoes. Had to find the size myself, got no assistance from the staff whatsoever. In fact, the only time I spoke to staff in the store is when I paid.
So, if you like self-service, then this is the place for you!
