December, when to book flight?

[tiff13]

We have reservations for the Polynesian from Dec. 5 thru Dec. 8, just my husband and I. Last week Midwest Express had tickets for $262.00, this week they're $371.00. Do I dare wait any longer? We have vouchers worth $152.00 but the flights have already gone up over $100 each so even with the vouchers we're still paying more than a week ago.

Not sure where you are flying out of but ATA from Chicago Midway has fares of $175.00 RT for that time period. I'm flying out Dec 4 and returning Dec 8 with DS and that is the fare we have. And I'm still able to get it on thier website.

Thanks for the option! We're hoping to fly out of Appleton {we only live 10 minutes from the airport}, with a brief stop at Milwaukee and then onto Orlando. I just don't get how these fares can jump $110 in less than a week! I'm just trying to decide if I should suck it up and take the price jump or hold out and hope that they don't get any higher.

tiff13,

I know how you feel, the same thing happened to me.
Did you try calling Midwest 800#?
their website gave me a price $500., I called 800# and I talked to a very cooperative guy that found a compainion fare of 350. not bad considering I am going over the new year holiday and out of LaCrosse.
