it depends, is it for the first two weeks of dec.? you could might be able to get a little better price. but if its the last two weeks of dec., i would book it. especially SW, if you get a ding you could always rebook the flight and get the credit without being charged a change fee. holidays are always alot of money, my flights are still around $300. i should have booked SW when then released the new dates for dec. It would have been cheaper by $50 to $75.
