After my trip Southampton to Melbourne I have to go on to New Zealand. Cunard recommend

not flying earlier than 1pm. The only decent flight for me is at 12.10pm, would mean being at the airport

by 9.10am theoretically.. Anyone with experience know

what might be the earliest time I could get ashore & clear the formalities ?

Many thanks, John

Hello John, I'm not experienced with disembarking in Melbourne but being a local, I know a thing or two about local traffic. Assuming you're docking at 0700 hrs, in my opinion, and just my opinion, you'd really want to be leaving the dock in your cab by 7.30 am to allow for the drive to Tullamarine airport. That would give you time assuming the traffic is no worse than normally heavy peak hour morning traffic. What date are you arriving in Melbourne? The two or three arrivals I can see on the list are all 0700. If you're getting in earlier than that, you'll have more wriggle room.
