Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Philadelphia Intl. Airport (PHL) to Santa Monica Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is an amazing way to travel around, but it isn't necessarily the smartest method to track down a cheap plane ticket. It's better to book your Philadelphia Intl. Airport (PHL) to SMO trip well in advance rather than leaving it 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. You can unleash your spontaneous side when you get to your destination!
