Bendigo to Melbourne Airport: plan backwards
Going to the airport, work back from your check-in time. The Bendigo Airport Service goes direct to the T4 car park; check its timetable. Train plus SkyBus means relying on two services, so leave a buffer for the change at Southern Cross Station.
A pre-booked transfer removes that change. Ask for a fixed price from your Bendigo address to your departure terminal.
