ON THE DAY
Departure Location
Moorabbin Heliport
Melbourne Heliport
Melbourne Airport
Relax and await your pilot in Microflite’s welcoming lounge at our Moorabbin Heliport facility.
Meet at our Melbourne helipad lounge in the bluestone building near the Spencer Street bridge in Batman Park.
Our helipad at Melbourne Airport is conveniently located at the Mercedes Benz facility, a short drive from the terminals.
Yes, you must arrive at the helipad 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Microflite has a strict schedule to follow on major event days. If you are late for your flight the helicopter will not wait for you.
Any bags larger than a handbag must be arranged with Client Services when creating your booking. Luggage that has not been approved by Microflite prior to your flight will not be permitted on board.
Your safety is our top priority, and Microflite will cancel flights when we feel safety margins may be affected. Our Client Services team will keep you updated with weather reports if we believe weather may impact your scheduled flight. If your flight is likely to be cancelled, we will notify you in the morning of the event. You will be given the option to cancel your flight and receive a full refund. If you decide to go ahead with your flight, but the return is later cancelled due to weather you will be refunded the difference between a return and one-way flight. You will need to find your own transport to return from the event.
If you miss your flight it is regarded as a ‘No Show’. As per our cancellation policy, a ‘No show’ is regarded as a cancellation by a client made less than 48 hours from the booking, and no refund will apply.
There are no bathroom facilities at the Flemington Racecourse helipads. Please make use of bathroom facilities elsewhere at the event before making your way to the helipad.
There is a short walk of approximately 5 minutes from the helipad to the entry gate.
