Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Cape Town Intl. Airport (CPT) to Louisville Intl. Airport (SDF) last minute?
Booking your flight from Cape Town Intl. Airport to SDF at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you stumble on a real bargain. However, airfares typically don’t come down in price closer to the departure date. If you wait around, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d rather play it safe, book well in advance of your departure date. It’s worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
