Last minute cheap seats on flight?

Question

Can you get the left over seats on a flight if it's not a full-flight for cheap? Or can you even get decent priced seats at the last minute on a flight, like the day of or day before?

Answer 1

Sometimes you can. Depends on the airline and what deals they offer. I'd advise calling the airline and asking. Also, check their website and see what they offer there. Some online last minute bookings can get pretty cheap.

Answer 2

Generally speaking, this is not going to happen. The least expensive seats are those that are booked far in advance. There are only a small percentage of them on any particular flight, so they are the first ones gone. Business travel usually has to pay more because business travelers do not book far in advance. The last seats to go are full fare, and they are not discounted at the last minute.
