Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from O'Hare Airport to Amilcar Cabral Intl. Airport (SID) last minute?
Booking your journey from ORD to Sal Intl. Airport last minute could help you save if you get lucky and find a good deal. However, fares usually don’t get cheaper as the departure date nears.

It’s worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
