Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Zagreb Airport to IST last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fantastic way to travel the world, but it's not necessarily the best method to land a cheap plane ticket.

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. You can unleash your spontaneous side when you're exploring IST!
