cacophony

Congratulations to the Melbourne Airport for fixing its long term car park pick up situation. It used to have a handful of vans hauling luggage carts chugging around the car park: one picking up and one dropping off. More than once, I have missed a flight while waiting for the shuttle bus to the terminal (or more accurately, waiting for one that wasn’t full of people already). The check-in staff tell me I’m not the only one swallowed by the Long Term Car Park Monster.

But the powers that be have reconfigured the sprawling parking lot and introduced big buses that pick up and drop off passengers at the same time. It’s much quicker and much more efficient.

If you’re going for more than a couple of days, though, make sure you write down where you left your car or, like me, you’ll spend ninety minutes meandering through the parks looking for your beastie.
