Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from O'Hare Airport to EIL last minute?
Booking your journey from O'Hare Airport to EIL at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you hit the jackpot and find a real bargain. However, airfares generally don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you don't want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of your departure date. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
