It's a statistical fact that seventy five percent of people overpay for plane tickets..

Write this second out of richmond, virginia.Direct to orlando is $1200 for 2 in premium economy.

I say buy one every day. You never know when you might need it.

The best time to book a plane ticket is the second you are certain that you will be going on the trip.

99% of airlines have a refund or credit policy if the ticket decreases in price from when you purchase it. So if the ticket goes down, you can recoop cost later. If the price goes up, then you are stuck eating the "could have been this much lower" guilt for your trip.

I feel like the days of getting a flight for a multiple less than it would be a few weeks earlier/later are long gone, but maybe I'm mistaken.

This is the OT. We don’t buy “plane tickets.” We either tell our private pilot where we want to go, or we just load up into our private jet and fly there ourselves.

With a particular destination in mind, for a certain date: Almost never.

If you're doing that, you should start looking several months out

Can you be flexible with dates? Google Travel has a great calendar with prices for each day. I think you can also make your airport flexible, too so they can include prices for other surrounding airports
