Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from LGA to GIG last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a fantastic way to see the world, but it's not necessarily the wisest way to find a cheap flight. Consider booking your LaGuardia Airport (LGA) to GIG journey well in advance rather than waiting till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Save up that spontaneity for when you get to GIG!
