"at the eleventh hour"到底是什麼時候?

"at the eleventh hour"到底是什麼時候?
提示:
The Internet had made it easier for airlines to sell off unsold seats at the eleventh hour.
(Reader's Digest April 2006)

Macmillan English Dictionary的解釋:
the eleventh hour:
the last possible moment that you can do something,
especially prvent soemthing bad from happening.
因此應該有「期限到前的時刻」的意思,例如到最後購票期限前幾天或幾個小時。
