Fly in from Sydney on Thursday, check in, and be ready for a race weekend that ends with the Australian Grand Prix™ on Sunday. The Grandstand & Flights from Sydney – 4 Nights package flies you to Melbourne with Virgin Australia on Thursday 1 April for the FORMULA 1 MOËT & CHANDON AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2027. It includes a 4-day grandstand ticket in Clark or Waite for media day on Thursday, when you can roam and sit in any grandstand around the circuit, practice on Friday, the F1® Sprint and qualifying on Saturday, and the Australian Grand Prix™ on Sunday 4 April.
Your Virgin Australia flight VA816 leaves Sydney at 8:00am on Thursday and lands in Melbourne at 9:35am, with one 23kg checked bag per person, and a shared coach takes you from Melbourne Airport to your hotel. You’ll stay four nights at your choice of the 4-star Quest Docklands, Travelodge Docklands or Novotel Melbourne on Collins (with daily breakfast included), or the 5-star Next Hotel Melbourne, Curio Collection by Hilton, all on the tram network to Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit. Choose Next Hotel Melbourne or Novotel Melbourne on Collins and you’re first off the airport coach, in your room sooner and closer to the CBD’s restaurants and laneways. On Monday morning, a shared coach takes you back to the airport for VA845 home at 1:00pm.
Cocktails in the Clouds at Melbourne Skydeck is included on any day of your stay, or upgrade to a Helicopter Joyflight over the circuit or the Melbourne Motorsport Breakfast on Friday morning.
