Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Richmond Intl. Airport (RIC) to Santa Barbara Airport last minute?
Booking your flight from Richmond Intl. Airport (RIC) to Santa Barbara Airport at the last minute could help you save if you hit the jackpot and find a good deal. However, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather not hedge your bets, book well ahead of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
