Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Charlotte Airport to Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) last minute?
Booking your journey from Charlotte-Douglas Intl. Airport (CLT) to Santos Dumont Airport last minute could save you some dough if you get lucky and find a bargain. However, tickets don't usually get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you wait around, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. It's worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
