Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from JFK to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) last minute?
Booking your journey from John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport (JFK) to SBA at the last minute could save you some dough if you hit the jackpot and find an awesome deal. However, airfares typically don't come down in price as the departure date nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you want to be on the safe side, book well ahead of your departure date. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
