It can take well over an hour, gate to gate! The reasons are several, but mainly that it’s a bus transfer from...

    Melbourne Int-Dom transit, separate ticket

    I have JL773 nrt-mel arriving at 05:40am. I am looking to book VA from Mel-syd on separate ticket. Would a 8:30am departure at Mel allow sufficient time to clear immigration and customs and then check in? I have never transited at Mel before for international arrival. The transit time is 2:50.
