Is it worthwhile getting a cheap flight that goes to Avalon or spend more and get to the airport closer to the CBD?

Compare the flight prices carefully. It's not always cheaper to fly to Avalon. If you're felxible with your times you can fly to Tullamarine cheaper and take the cheap skybus into the city in 20 mins.

There is a bus (Sunbus) from Avalon to Melbourne. It stops at the new Southern Cross transport terminal on Spencer Street.
There is also a limited public transport service from Tullamarine to Melbourne. It is slower but the advantage is that you can use the Metlink tickets that can be used on all other public transport in Melbourne.
Bus most visitors use the Skybus because it is quick and more frequent. However, it has its own fare structure and tickets and is more expensive than other public transport.
Melbourne's public transport system is good and easy to navigate. Fares are cheap with a three-zone (soon to be reduced to two) system that allows unlimited travel within designated time periods.
But most people in Melbourne drive cars and few people seem to know much about public transport.
Visitors should be warned about trying to ride for free; sometimes it seems that tickets are never checked. But inspections do happen and fines are heavy for not travelling without a valid ticket.
Enjoy your visit to Melbourne and riding our public transport system - especially the trams: a Melbourne icon.

If you want to get to the CBD, its is worthy paying a little extra and flying in to Tullamarine.
Avalon is really closer to Geelong and definitely should not be considered a 'melbourne aiport'.

Don't try taxi it costs too much. Either bus it to Spencer St (eureka) station for about $15 or taxi to geelong and go by train (about $15 all up). Or pay the extra $10 in airfares and go to Tullamarine. Need a lift from there - let me know if u want.
BTW most taxis won't actually take you out to avalon either. There is something about zoning rules.

You didn't specify a specific hotel, so I searched from Bourke Street. And you didn't specify domestic or international, so I searched domestic. From Bourke Street, it's about 24km. Instructions: 1. Head west on Bourke St toward Galleria Plza 0.7 km 2. Turn right at King St 0.8 km 3. Turn left at Dudley St 0.2 km 4. Take the 1st right on to Spencer St 0.8 km 5. Slight left at Dynon Rd 0.7 km 6. Turn left to merge onto Citylink Partial toll road 9.2 km 7. Continue on Tullamarine Fwy 9.6 km 8. Continue straight onto Airport Dr 1.0 km 9. Continue on Arrival Dr 0.1 km 10. Continue on Departure Dr Destination will be on the left 0.6 km Ask your hotel concierge if theres a shuttle bus. There should be one from any major hotel. Im not sure of any bus going directly from the CBD.. Your best bet would be to get a shuttle bus.. Sorry for lack of help, but I hope this at least gives you some. Good luck and Bless, Ichiban.
