Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Tullamarine Airport to Whakatane Airport (WHK) last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a fantastic way to travel around, but it isn't always the best method to track down a cheap plane ticket. Think about booking your MEL to WHK trip well in advance rather than leaving it until 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. Save all that spontaneity for when you get to WHK!
What airports do you fly into for Thornton from Melbourne?
There are three airports you can fly to when journeying from Melbourne to Thornton: Whakatane Airport (WHK), Rotorua Regional Airport (ROT) and Tauranga Airport (TRG). Whakatane Airport (WHK) is approximately 2 kilometers east of central Thornton. Before deciding where you'll touch down, keep in mind flight times, the distance to where you're staying and the expense of getting from the airport.
Can I change the date of my flight from Tullamarine Airport to Whakatane Airport?
Quickly make changes to your Tullamarine Airport to WHK trip through the Expedia Trips portal. Before you make any amendments, read over the ticket rules in your itinerary to see what you're able to do and if change fees apply. Some airlines charge a change fee per person, on top of any difference in ticket prices. But if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and book new flights.
