Is it cheaper to book flights in Asia directly in the airlines’ ticket offices or on their websites?
Question by Justine: Is it cheaper to book flights in Asia directly in the airlines’ ticket offices or on their websites?
Especially for last minute tickets, is it better (and price-wise also) to book in the ticketing office of the airline itself (when you are already in Asia, for example the ticketing offices or booths in airports) or on their website?

I live in Asia and you never know for sure, it wouldn’t hurt to check the website before you buy at a ticket office. It depends on the airline, where you’re going and the seat availability on the particular flight you want. For most of the budget airlines here, you can buy a last minute ticket for a pretty good fare, and some of the major airlines also will discount fares when they know the flight won’t be full for last-minute travel. But like almost everywhere, advance purchase is usally the best way to go.
