Booking your flight from General Mitchell Intl. Airport (MKE) to South Bend Intl. Airport (SBN) at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you’re lucky enough to find a real steal.

If you want to be on the safe side, book well in advance of your departure date. 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 deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
