Melbourne is a city located in the southeastern part of Australia. Melbourne has an international airport and United Airlines carries regular flights there. American Airlines or Qantas Airways (an Australian company) also offer flights there but they are generally more expensive than United Airlines. Note that flights to Melbourne from the U.S. usually have two stops and the typical travel time is between 24 and 32 hours.
