Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from PVG to Luang Prabang Intl. Airport (LPQ) last minute?
Booking your flight from Pudong Intl. Airport (PVG) to LPQ at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you luck out and find a real bargain.

If you’d rather not hedge your bets, book well ahead of when you want to leave. In fact, Expedia has some of the biggest deals up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
