Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from GRU to Dubai Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a great way to travel the globe, but it isn’t necessarily the wisest way to get your hands on a cheap plane ticket.

We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you arrive at your destination!
