$$ Flights for Pres week 04 are way down

[roelongo]

I always book my flights for pres week and all other holiday vac from NY at the 11 month mark because they historically never go down. Well not this year, I booked right at 11 months, paid 295/pp and last night I hear on the news that in order to raise business flight prices are being reduced. I go on the internet and sure enough my flight is $100 lower per person. I can't believe it. I call American and I get vouchers for future flights. I'm really aggravated but I guess all I can do is think of it as prepaying my next flight and now making sure I book another vacation within the required time.

Any way hope this helps someone else!

We flew down the week after Pres. week this year and may do the same next year, so as soon as the airline sites would take my dates, I started checking. We fly out of DTW and like a direct flight, right now they are running about 20.00 more per person than what we paid this year. ~~

We just booked 2 rt, non-stop flights, Pittsburgh to Orlando(MCO) for the week after Presidents week(Feb 21-27,2004) with US AIR for $195(taxes inc).
I booked these last week at the 330 day mark(earliest). The fares may drop a little before we fly, but whenever I can get good times,non-stop, for under $200, I jump on them as soon as possible.

Just did a quick search on expedia for feb 2004 and the cheapest flights were 282$. that was out of boston and pvd was even higher. Not such a deal i guess
