Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from CPT to Bandaranaike Intl. Airport (CMB) last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is an awesome way to explore the world, but it's not always the smartest method to nab a cheap airfare. It's better to book your Cape Town Intl. Airport to CMB journey well ahead of time instead of leaving it till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Leave your spontaneity for when you're exploring CMB!
