Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Nairobi Airport to Philadelphia Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport (NBO) to Philadelphia Intl. Airport (PHL) at the last minute could help you save if you get lucky and find an epic deal. However, airfares generally don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked solid 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. Don’t forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
