Do flights go up in price when booking over weekends?

[my2mickeykids]

I was going to book our flight yesterday and forgot. I went to do it today and one of them had go up a bit. It was on Alaska. Do you think prices go up a bit over a weekend and will go back down on Monday or do you think it might be the new price? Thank you!

Airfares go up and down all the time. Alaska actually allows you to "hold" a reservation though through the next day until midnight (i.e. if I booked today, I would be held until tomorrow evening at 11:59.) I often do this and see if the airfare is changing, you can actually book a hold today, book a hold tomorrow. It's a really nice feature Alaska has available.

I did the same thing. The flight that I wanted for October was $59 each way and I meant to book it several days ago and forgot. The next day it was $99, then it went up to $109 a day or so after that. I've been checking the AA site every day for several weeks now and the prices are changing every few days. Since your trip isn't until December, I'd bet that the prices will come down again since it is several months away. You might want to just keep checking every day since it changes so often.
