Question 2

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) to Tokyo Narita Airport last minute?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to booking your flights, being prepared pays dividends. While it's possible to score a deal on a LAX to NRT flight at the last minute, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to book a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days ahead. For international trips it's three to four months.
