Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from ZNZ to CMB last minute?
Booking your journey from Zanzibar Airport to Bandaranaike Intl. Airport (CMB) at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you happen to find a real bargain. However, tickets don't typically get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats long gone. If you want to be on the safe side, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
