Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from CNS to Kota Kinabalu Intl. Airport (BKI) last minute?

If you don't want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. In fact, you can find some of the biggest deals up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
