Frequently asked questions
What is the closest airport to Melbourne?
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the closest airport we list to downtown Melbourne, 46 miles away in a straight line. StubOrder also lists SFB (59 miles). We list large airports and smaller ones with scheduled flights; business and private fields are left out.
How far is MCO from downtown Melbourne?
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is 46 miles (75 km) from downtown Melbourne in a straight line. The drive is always longer than the straight line, and the roads near the venues are busiest at event times, so allow more than a map suggests.
Can I buy event tickets and flights together?
Not as one purchase. Event tickets come from our resale marketplace and flights from our travel partner and the airlines, as separate bookings with separate confirmations. Neither depends on the other, so if an event moves, your flight does not change automatically.
Are fares shown on this page?
No. Airline fares change by the minute and depend on your exact dates, airports and travellers, so this page shows none. Pick your dates in the search form and StubOrder asks the airlines live; every fare it shows is the total for all travellers, taxes and fees included.
