For domestic flights, we recommend arriving at the airport in Melbourne at least 2 hours before your scheduled departure time. For international flights, aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to ensure smooth check-in, security checks, and to account for any unexpected delays.

Every airline has its own rules about when check-in and baggage drop closes, so be sure to check before you head to Melbourne just in case.

Timing is everything when it comes to grabbing flight tickets. Typically, it’s best to book around 4-6 weeks in advance for domestic flights and a minimum of 2-3 months for international routes. But the prices also depend on the travel demand, seasonality, and major events. You can always monitor the fare trends on Traveloka and set alerts to catch the best deals or promotions. Consider shopping around big sales events, like EOFY, Black Friday or Boxing Day to get the best deal.
