Could you save more?
The airport you were going to fly from is often not the cheapest one. Compare every airport in a region against each other, or check whether a multi-day stopover beats the direct fare.

The cheapest fare we have tracked on this route is $748, compared with a typical $1,167 for a trip of this distance.
Is it cheaper to fly to Melbourne from a different airport?
Often, yes. Fares out of secondary airports are frequently cheaper than the obvious hub, but they are the ones most likely to be missing from a normal search. Our reverse search compares every airport in a region against each other so the cheaper departure point is not hidden.
Could a stopover make Chicago Midway to Melbourne cheaper?
Sometimes. On thin long-haul routes a two-leg trip with a multi-day stopover can beat the direct fare, and occasionally a direct fare is not sold at all. Our detour search prices those routings against the direct flight.
