Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport has four terminals. Terminal 1 services Qantas domestic flights, so if you’re flying with Qantas, T1 will be your terminal. T3 services Virgin domestic flights, and T4 services TigerAir, Jetstar, Rex and AirNorth. It’s worth double-checking your itinerary to be sure you head to the correct terminal. However, all are within the same building and within walking distance of each other.
This will depend on which terminal you’re departing from. Flights from Melbourne to Sydney with Qantas depart from T1, while flights with Virgin Australia depart from T2. For both of these airlines, you can use the drop-off zone on Level 2 of the forecourt for terminals 1, 2 and 3. If you’re flying with Jetstar, TigerAir or another low-cost carrier, it’s best to get dropped off on Level 1, as this provides the easiest access to Terminal 4. Both drop-off zones can be accessed by following the appropriate signs on Departure Drive.

Enjoyed the comfort of the seats, slight delay to departure time but prompt takeoff and landing.

It asks about entertainment tho it’s not applicable. 10/10 for Rex 👌🏻
Not sure how to answer on the entertainment as there wasn’t any.. Comfort, I wasn’t comfortable as I was on the window side and a morbidly obese man sat in the middle and eased out into my space. I had sciatica so I wasn’t able to move much to get comfortable. Food wise I have a wheat allergy and asked if there was a gluten free option and was given a Byron bay cookie which was lovely tho it wasn’t wheat free. Not to worry. I wasn’t expecting there to be any appropriate snacks for me anyhow. The staff were very generous with the snacks and their concern for the passengers. The staff were amazing tho. Truly amazing ! One of the staff must have noticed my discomfort and helped me out to stand in the back of the plane to stretch which I really appreciated. I would fly with REX again without hesitation. Thank you very much. It was my first flight with you and I look forward to my return flight home on Tuesday. Best wishes to your company 👌🏻
All good, was a one hour flight so no food or entertainment which was expected
Rex is an underrated airline. Its my first time flying them and they were fantastic. the only things that annoyed me about my flight were things other passengers did so it was nothing i or REX could change
Really enjoyed flying with Rex the boarding and booking baggage on was easier than most. I will beat using Rex next time.
On time and a quick flight and staff vert good
flight delays seems to be the norm these days. pies with soggy pastry.
Two hours late - lack of communication on why or how long.
