Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) to MCE last minute?
Booking your flight from San Diego Airport to Merced Municipal Airport (MCE) at the last minute could save you a pretty penny if you get lucky and find an epic deal. However, fares generally don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you wait around, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (don't get stuck in the middle!). If you'd prefer to play it safe, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. It's worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.

From San Diego, you can travel to Merced via Merced Municipal Airport (MCE), Modesto, CA (MOD-Modesto City - County) and Fresno Yosemite Intl. Airport (FAT). Determine which hub is best for you before making your decision. If you opt for Merced Municipal Airport (MCE), it's around 3 kilometers southwest of the center of the city. Use the cash you save when booking your seat with Expedia to enjoy the city's top attractions, such as University of California Merced and Merced County Fairgrounds.
