FAQs

 

Can I book flights for today online?

You can book flights that depart on the same day that you make your booking with Alternative Airlines. Search for flights and complete your booking the same that you would if you were booking flights for any other departure date.

 

How late before departure can I book a flight for today?

This will depend on the policy of the airline as well as the route - whether you’re flying domestically or internationally. For international travel, it is often possible to book flights online up to 4 hours before scheduled departure. Many airlines will accept domestic flight bookings made online up to two hours before departure. But bear in mind that in most instances it is often recommended to arrive at your departure airport 2 hours prior to departure to ensure that you have enough time to complete check-in, pass through security checks and arrive at the departure gate before it closes.

Please note that some airlines are unavailable to book for departure on the same day.

 

How do I book last minute flights?

Use the search form at the top of the page to begin searching for flights. Select today's date as your departure date. If you only need a one-way flight, ensure you select this option. Or, you can select the date that you would like to return.
