Scoping out the transportation options in Lara is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The most convenient airport is 3.2 mi (5.1 km) from the centre in Melbourne, VIC (AVV-Avalon). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to Melbourne, VIC (MEB-Essendon), which is 33 mi (53.1 km) away.
