Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from LHR to East Midlands Airport (EMA) last minute?
Booking your journey from LHR to East Midlands Airport (EMA) last minute could save you money if you hit the jackpot and find a bargain.

If you’d rather not take any chances, book well ahead 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 airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
