Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from YCD to SEA last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a wonderful way to travel, but it isn’t always the cleverest way to get your hands on a cheap flight. Consider booking your YCD to SEA trip in advance instead of waiting until the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you reach your destination!
