Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from San Diego Airport to Galeão Intl. Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a terrific way to see the world, but it isn't always the best way to pick up a bargain airfare.

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. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you arrive in GIG!
