Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) to Comandante Armando Tola Intl. Airport (FTE) last minute?
Booking your flight from DCA to El Calafate Airport last minute could help you save if you stumble on a bargain. However, tickets don't usually get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you'd rather not hedge your bets, book well in advance of when 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 preferred airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
