do you think that flights will go down for feb?

[julieannbabe]

apologies - i had already made a post about flights going up by £100 within a week.

now they have gone from £300 to £388 then £408 -- they keep hooering at £408. some days they are even £488.

do you think they might go back down to around £300 - on virgin?

thanks,

In our experience scheduled flight costs tend to increase the closer you get to the date of departure. There may be the odd downward dip - but the overall trend is usually upwards.

Highly unlikely with any of the scheduled airlines. You should get flights with First Choice for less than £200 in February.

I agree with this EXCEPT when there are fare sales... British Airways are going to have a fare sale (rumour is on the 28th December, but it could be a day or two afterwards). And where BA go, Virgin normally follow (if you prefer to fly Virgin to BA).

So personally I would wait until this fare sale (just after Xmas).

Our flights go up in the US in mid-Feb due to some schools being off on break for President's Day. Not sure if the UK flights will reflect this or not. It falls during the 16 Feb-20 Feb period.

UK flights may well be higher during this period, due to Feb half term which is around this time .

Julianebabe, I would hang on for the sales personally. The prices you have quoted there seem pricey for Feb (unless you are stuck to half term week).

We booked our flights for Feb this year this time last year via daily mail and paid just under £800 for 3 adult prices. Keep an eye out between now and new year, I am sure they will come down
