There are many threads on airfares here on the boards. You didn't mention when you would be flying or from where though. Flights will be more expensive when kids are out of school and on holidays. When I know I will be traveling, I will troll the websites everyday & a couple of times a day. In 2012 I scored for tickets to Aulani, $391 for HNL. I got the tickets in Oct 2012 for February 2013 trip during Presidents week. Prior to buying the $391 tickets, prices were over $700 and that's from California! We're going to WDW this April during Easter/Spring Break and when I started looking, 11 months out, tickets were in the low to mid $400's. I thought since I was looking so far out (and that I did so well with my Hawaii trip) that prices would come down. They didn't. Not only that, as time went on, times and connections all changed. Went with another airline but still paid more than where it started out. My rule of thumb now, if it's in the $400 range, I'm buying. Some people say wait three months out, others say they buy as soon as the flight comes out. Thankfully I budgeted for the higher price. But I'm kicking myself still over it.
