Buy airfare now or later?

[CapnJacksGirl]

We just booked our rooms for our Disney trip mid-May 2010. Flights right now are decent prices but not great and nowhere near as cheap as I got them for last year's trip. Should I jump on the decent prices now or wait a bit and see if it gets better? Does anyone know what the forecast is for airline pricing? I'm unsure and co-dependent on my DIS buddies - bad combo!! I need help!!

I know that Southwest flies out of Humphrey...do they fly to Orlando? If so that would be your best bet. You can purchase the flights now and keep checking the prices. If they go down you can re-book. Also sign up at Yapta and they monitor the prices for you so you can see the trends of when they might be lower.

I'd also go ahead and book, but only with an airline that'd give you credit if the flights come down in cost (since I only use SW or JB, those are the ones I'm familiar with; I guess there'd be others). Then you could use any credits towards future travel.
