Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) to Santa Maria Airport last minute?
Booking your trip from LAX to Santa Maria Airport last minute could save you money if you stumble on a real steal. However, fares don't typically get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you hold off, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (don't get stuck in the middle!). If you'd rather play it safe, book well ahead of when you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
