Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Louisville Intl. Airport (SDF) to Albany International Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from SDF to ALB at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you luck out and find a real bargain. However, tickets typically don’t come down in price closer to the departure date. If you hold out, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d rather not hedge your bets, book well in advance of your departure date. Don’t forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
