Who wants to go thru all that BS security at MEL.
Adds 2 minutes to your day at most.
Who wants to have to walk miles just to get to the aircraft.
The walk from check in to any gate at Melbourne is 200m max!
Who wants to have to go past 100 extremely overpriced shops/takeways just to get to your gate.
There'd be lucky to be more than 100 shops total at Melbourne airport let alone in one terminal.
If you're originating in Melbourne, believe parking, right beside the terminal is still free at MEB.
The pay parking machines at Essendon must be for show.
You're a bit of a drama queen BNEA320. Exaggerating must be your forte.
