re: European flight question (Updated connection question/paging Cuse)

I’m going to Rome next Thanksgiving most likely and have some price trackers set. Prices aren’t up, demand just is.

There were $550/ RT flights for this past November and December 2023 to book last minute (3-4 days away). I really didn’t look hard. I just started looking this past November 2023 for next November 2024.

Now, a decent bit of those cheaper flights are bad times so again I didn’t look. I’m not sure what premium economy usually goes for. But I’m assuming that it’s much less than what you are looking at.

I would expect flights to go down quite a bit next fall, yes. But flight deals are going to be airline specific generally so you need to keep your options open. I personally wouldn’t stress about booking your flight until about 3-4 months out of your trip unless there’s a deal earlier. Deals generally aren’t ran to fill up until 4-6 months out but sometimes happen sooner and like I said occasionally run last minute.
