Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Van Nuys Airport (VNY) to MCE last minute?
Booking your flight from Van Nuys Airport (VNY) to Merced Municipal Airport (MCE) at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you luck out and find a good deal. However, fares generally don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you wait around, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you'd prefer to play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
What airports do you fly into for Merced from Los Angeles?
Merced Municipal Airport (MCE), Modesto, CA (MOD-Modesto City - County) and Fresno Yosemite Intl. Airport (FAT) are your choices when flying from Los Angeles to Merced. About 3 kilometers southwest of the center of Merced, Merced Municipal Airport (MCE) is the city's principal hub. Take into account factors like flight schedules and the distance to your hotel before choosing an airport. University of California Merced and Merced County Fairgrounds are a couple of fantastic attractions to put on your must-see list when you get to your destination.
