Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Charlotte Airport to Lyon Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from Charlotte Airport to LYS last minute could save you a tidy sum if you’re lucky enough to find a real steal. However, tickets generally don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you hold off, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you’d rather err on the side of caution, 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 its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
