Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SDM to LAX last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fabulous way to explore the globe, but it's not necessarily the wisest method to pick up a cheap airfare. It's better to book your SDM to LAX trip well ahead of time rather than waiting till 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. Save all that spontaneity for when you're exploring LAX!
