Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Bandaranaike Intl. Airport (CMB) to IST last minute?
Booking your trip from CMB to IST at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you’re lucky to find a bargain. However, airfares don’t usually get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you hold off, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you want to be on the safe side, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Don’t forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
