The "across" I am almost certain refers to the fact that SYD-MEL are on a very approximate east-west route and the sense would be that one is going across. As opposed to say SYD-BNE where one might think of it as "up" to BNE and "down" to SYD.

As for the "today", hey, I just know NY English.

Cheers, Mate!
