Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from OMA to Chicago Airport last minute?
Booking your trip from Eppley Airfield to Midway Intl. Airport (MDW) last minute could save you dollars if you happen to find a terrific deal. However, tickets don’t usually get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked up or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you’d prefer to play it safe, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. In fact, you can find some of the biggest deals up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
