We went late Nov to Dec last year and ended up with something like $59 each way on a DING. Unfortunately - I don't know if you'll see the rates get that low this year. Due to our DD5 starting Kindergarten this fall, we've switched from Nov to Oct during a week where she already has one day off - that way she'll miss one less day of school. Anyway - I've been watching closely to see if I can get a cheaper flight than what I have now, and last night there was a DING for the exact same price ($74 each way). Only valid through October, though... Good luck! My advice - if you get it for $74, consider yourself lucky and take it!
