Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Washington Dulles Intl. Airport (IAD) to TVC last minute?
Booking your flight from IAD to Cherry Capital Airport at the last minute could save you a pretty penny if you luck out and find a terrific deal.

If you don’t want to hedge your bets, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. In fact, Expedia has some of the biggest deals up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
