Departure: Brisbane Airport (BNE)
Your journey starts at Brisbane Airport (BNE). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The Airtrain runs from the domestic and international terminals to the city in about 25 minutes and suits a central hotel with light luggage; the Gold Coast, Noosa, Moreton Island's wharf or a family with bags are far easier by private car from the arrivals hall.
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Brisbane to Brisbane Airport
- Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Brisbane Airport
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
Arrival: Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) (MEL) and getting into Melbourne
The flight lands at Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) (MEL). Melbourne is Australia's coffee, art and sport capital, with laneways and the Great Ocean Road nearby. From arrivals you have taxis, local transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Brisbane to Melbourne journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.
Onward flights or trains from Melbourne the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Brisbane to Melbourne departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Brisbane to Melbourne flight
On board, the Brisbane to Melbourne flight is about 2 hours 25 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
Flying with children, families and groups from Brisbane to Melbourne
Three things to know about the flight from Brisbane to Melbourne with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and usually a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.
Things to do in Melbourne when you land
Federation Square and Flinders Street Station, the Queen Victoria Market, the laneways and street art, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Melbourne Cricket Ground are what most travellers come to Melbourne for. Melbourne is Australia's coffee, art and sport capital, with laneways and the Great Ocean Road nearby. Eat lamingtons and vanilla slice, flat white and specialty coffee and Vietnamese pho in Richmond while you are there.
Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Melbourne; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Brisbane to Melbourne
March to May and September to November are mild and pleasant; summer from December to February is warm with the Australian Open in January; winter from June to August is cool and wet; Melbourne's weather can change several times in a day. On the flight from Brisbane to Melbourne, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.
Return flight from Melbourne to Brisbane
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Melbourne to Brisbane booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne?
Flight prices from Brisbane to Melbourne follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.
The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Brisbane to Melbourne flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.
Cheapest flight from Brisbane to Melbourne: how to pay less
A cheap Brisbane to Melbourne flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Brisbane to Melbourne that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

Can I book the Brisbane to Melbourne flight for a group?
Of course. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book the seats together in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Melbourne to Brisbane, or onward flights from Melbourne - and puts it all on one booking.

Can I book a return flight from Melbourne to Brisbane?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We clarify the flexible options.
