Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Seattle - Tacoma Intl. Airport (SEA) to Eloy Alfaro Air Base last minute?
Booking your journey from SEA to Eloy Alfaro Air Base at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you strike it lucky and find a bargain. However, tickets usually don’t drop in price as the date of departure nears. If you hold off, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d rather play it safe, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. It’s worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
