Hi
To get the "cheap" apex fares in u/c, can someone tell me what the minimum advance purchase period is?
I thought it was 31 days before departure but someone mentioned 28 days.
thanks
David

42 days on Virgin - I believe it varies on other airlines, more educated people than me will be able to tell you.

It's 42 for a Z (unless part of a special offer)
D's have differing advance purchase requirements, based on the fare basis.
J is obviously a matter of minutes before departure.

Thanks for ultra quick replies.
31 days would be today (z out and in) so it looks like its either very cheap or a mistake.
Better grab it
thanks again
David

MCO Z fares generally run about 21 days or 28 days in advance. Each fare has its own advance purchase rule.
When in doubt, ring Premier and ask.

Thanks Juliet.
If I booked this fare and discovered tomorrow that I needed to change the date, would I be able to pay to upgrade it to a D or J to enable the change or is it "totally" non changeable?
thanks
