Decisions, decisions...

Ugh! I've been watching airfare almost daily for a month or so for Labor Day or possibly 2 weeks after, haven't decided yet. We went at the same time last year and I bought 4 tickets in April for a total of $660 from St. Louis to Orlando which I thought was pretty good. So far, today has been the cheapest I've seen at $767...do you think that's the lowest it's going to go or should I give it at least another month or so? I know no one knows for sure, just looking for input.

I will tell you not only EXACTLY how low airfare will go, but WHEN it will get there, down to the minute so you can be waiting at your computer to book.

In exchange, all I ask is for the winning powerball numbers.

No one can tell you with any certainty what airfares will do, or when they will do it. Look at it this way... it's a year later and it's only an extra $100. To me, that's not too bad. If I could afford the $767, I'd take it. Then again, I'm not much of a gambler. Because that's what you're doing, gambling. If you wait, prices may go down, or they may go up.

Haha

A friend mentioned something in passing the other day about hearing that there's something going on with the airlines that was going to cause fares to jump in the next couple of months. Didn't know if there was anything to that or if anyone here had heard anything about it?

Check out bing travel. After you do an airfare search it tells you if now is a good time to buy or if you should wait
