Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Orlando Intl. Airport to COU last minute?
Booking your trip from MCO to Columbia Regional Airport (COU) at the last minute could save you dollars if you happen to find an amazing deal. However, fares don’t usually get cheaper as the date of departure 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 want to be on the safe side, 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 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
