Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from CMB to BKI last minute?
Booking your journey from Bandaranaike Intl. Airport (CMB) to Kota Kinabalu Intl. Airport (BKI) at the last minute could save you dollars if you strike it lucky and find an awesome deal. However, fares usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you procrastinate, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd prefer to play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

Can I change the date of my flight from Colombo International Airport to BKI?
You can easily make changes to your CMB to Kota Kinabalu International Airport journey via the Expedia Trips portal.
