Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from San Francisco Airport to DWC last minute?
Booking your trip from San Francisco Intl. Airport (SFO) to Dubai World Central at the last minute could save you cash if you strike it lucky and find an epic deal. However, fares usually don't drop in price closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather play it safe, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. In fact, you can find some of the biggest deals up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
