Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Manchester Airport (MAN) to Tullamarine Airport (MEL) last minute?
Booking your journey from Manchester Airport (MAN) to MEL last minute could help you save if you’re lucky enough to find an amazing deal. However, airfares don’t usually get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d rather play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. Don’t forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
