Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Sacramento Intl. Airport (SMF) to ONT last minute?
Booking your journey from Sacramento Airport to ONT last minute could save you some dough if you luck out and find a real bargain. However, tickets generally don’t get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked up or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you want to be on the safe side, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. In fact, Expedia has some of the biggest deals up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
