Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from MEL to Santa Monica Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a great way to see the world, but it isn't always the smartest method to find a bargain flight. Consider booking your MEL to SMO journey well ahead of time rather than waiting till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Leave your spontaneous side for when you're discovering SMO!
