Question 2

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Sharjah Airport to CMB last minute?

Accepted Answer

Booking your trip from Sharjah Airport to CMB at the last minute could save you cash if you strike it lucky and find an awesome deal. However, tickets typically don't come down in price as the date of departure nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats taken (don't get stuck in the middle!).
