Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SNA to TVL last minute?
Booking your flight from SNA to TVL at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you strike it lucky and find a real steal. However, fares generally don’t get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats taken (don’t get stuck in the middle!). If you’d rather not hedge your bets, 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 carrier hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
