Advice on Airline Prices
Posted on 8/22/23 at 9:25 am

I started looking back in July for a trip in December. Flights I wanted were around $430 each. Reading online they said prices were generally cheaper 3-4 months before departure date so I didn't pull the trigger. A month later and they're $800. Did I mess up by not booking in July? Should I keep waiting?
Maybe I'm just trying to get flights that are in high demand. Short layover, not leaving at the arse crack of dawn, etc.
TIA

if the travel is in the second half of December, I doubt it goes cheaper. I rarely see deals or price drops for your normal holiday travel time. I may be wrong, but that has been my personal experience and observations.

To where def matters...
But yes, if you are a SW person or get emails from other airlines you'll see them promoting big Fall and Winter sales right now that you can save a great deal of money on.
Look into buying points too at discounted rates that you can use towards those flights.
Saved about $150 per ticket in April by working the system

I booked flights for December from NO to Orlando directly through Southwest website for $300 each roundtrip. I believe I booked them in late June if I remember right.
