Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Essendon Airport (MEB) to LAX last minute?
When it's time to book your flights, being organized pays off. While you may be able to find a deal on a MEB to LAX flight at the last minute, fares usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to book a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days in advance. For international flights it's three to four months.
What airports do you fly into for Los Angeles from Melbourne?
From Melbourne, you can reach Los Angeles via Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX), Long Beach Municipal Airport (LGB) and Bob Hope Airport (BUR). It's a good idea to check which airport is the best option for you before making your decision. If you choose Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX), it's roughly 18 kilometers southwest of the downtown area. Use the dollars you save when booking your journey with Expedia to tour the city's well-known sights, such as University of Southern California and TCL Chinese Theatre.
Can I change the date of my flight from Essendon Airport (MEB) to Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX)?
You can quickly make changes to your Essendon Airport (MEB) to LAX journey through the Expedia Trips portal. But before you make any amendments, review the rules in your itinerary to learn what the airline will let you do and whether fees apply. Some carriers have a change fee per person, on top of any difference in fares. However, if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and arrange new flights. You can also take a look at our Customer Service portal for more information and to chat with our Virtual Agent.
