Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from JFK to Gonggar Airport (LXA) last minute?
Booking your trip from JFK Airport to Gonggar Airport (LXA) at the last minute could save you money if you strike it lucky and find a good deal. However, fares don’t typically get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you don’t want to risk it, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
