Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from ORD to Essendon Airport last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a fabulous way to discover the world, but it's not always the best method to nab a cheap airfare. It's better to book your O'Hare Intl. Airport (ORD) to MEB journey ahead of time instead of waiting 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. You can unleash your spontaneous side when you reach your destination!

Essendon Airport (MEB) is the terminal where all Chicago to Melbourne flights disembark. It's located roughly 11 kilometers northwest of the center of Melbourne. You can pick up unbeatable deals on flights, hotels and more when you book your Melbourne break with Expedia.
