Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from General Mitchell Intl. Airport (MKE) to SJC last minute?
Booking your journey from General Mitchell Intl. Airport (MKE) to Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Intl. Airport (SJC) last minute could save you some dough if you luck out and find an amazing deal.

If you’d rather play it safe, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
