Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from LAX to Heraklion Intl. Airport last minute?
Booking your trip from LAX to Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) last minute could save you cash if you’re lucky enough to find a terrific deal. However, airfares usually don’t come down in price as the departure date nears. If you hold off, flights could also be sold 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 when you want to leave. It’s worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
