book air now or wait?

[***tink386]

I have been following airfares for a while a now. (San Francisco to Orlando) At first, I didn't want to pay over $250 p.p. and now fares have jumped at least $100 p.p. However, I did find a flight that leaves one day later than we had originally planned (we will lose one day of our vacation! ) and the rates are at $270 p.p. We will be traveling during easter and are not very flexible on what time we have to come back home. The flight has to leave MCO later than 11:30 a.m. since we will be coming back from our cruise. So the question is, should I book our air for our family of four now or wait, and hope prices drop?

That is hard to say. You could always wait, but wait happens if the flight jumps $100 or so. If it was me I would be kicking myself for not getting them when I could.

If you can live with the $270pp and return flight time, I'd book now. The key is "traveling during Easter". So are a lot of other people - once the lower fares are gone, they're gone. I don't think Easter fares will drop - especially if you need specific times/dates. Good luck.

Best wishes -
