Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from O'Hare Intl. Airport (ORD) to Merced Regional Airport last minute?
When it's time to book your flights, being prepared pays off. While you could pick up a last-minute deal on an O'Hare Intl. Airport (ORD) to MCE flight, 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 travel it's between three and four months.
What airports do you fly into for Merced from Chicago?
From Chicago, you can get to Merced through Merced Municipal Airport (MCE), Modesto, CA (MOD-Modesto City - County) and Fresno Yosemite Intl. Airport (FAT).
