Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Zanzibar Airport to JFK Airport last minute?
Booking your flight from Zanzibar Intl. Airport (ZNZ) to JFK last minute could save you cash if you’re lucky enough to find an amazing deal. However, tickets usually don’t come down in price closer to the departure date. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d prefer to play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest 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 updated on Expedia constantly.
