Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SJO to Ottawa International Airport last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fabulous way to travel, but it's not always the best way to score a cheap flight. Think about booking your SJO to Macdonald-Cartier Intl. Airport (YOW) journey in advance rather than waiting until 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. Save all that spontaneity for when you reach your destination!
