A: In the airline industry, one-way airline tickets are generally not eligible for travel discounts. Since we want to offer significant savings across all airfares, we only offer round-trip tickets. These airline tickets give us the best opportunity to provide you with the biggest discounts. Likewise, multi-city flight itineraries may require combining various carriers and routings, which would prevent our airline partners from giving us their best discount fares.

A: Yes. For domestic travel, you must complete your booking before 6 p.m. in the time zone of your departure airport to allow time to process your request. For same-day international travel, you must complete your booking before 4 p.m. Tickets for same-day travel are issued electronically.
To ensure you have enough time to arrive at the airport, check in for your flight, and go through security, we will ensure that you have at least the following amount of time between completing your booking and your flight departure:
Domestic flights: 5 1/2 hours
International flights: 7 1/2 hours
Also, remember that international destinations may require travel documents such as a current passport, proof of citizenship, or an entry or transit visa. These requirements may affect your ability to book same-day travel. For example, travel to Australia must be booked at least one day in advance of departure, in order to allow enough time to issue an electronic visa.
