Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from PSP to GIG last minute?
Booking your journey from Palm Springs Intl. Airport (PSP) to Galeão Intl. Airport at the last minute could save you some dough if you strike it lucky and find a bargain. However, airfares usually don’t come down in price as the date of departure nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d rather play it safe, book well in advance of your departure date. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
