Flying in December

[MrsH42608]

If you have flown to & from WDW in December, when did you book your flight? We are flying JetBlue, the 2nd wk in Dec and our inbound flight was very cheap when the fares were first posted, our outbound was somewhat high and has only gone up-just $6, but now Im not sure if we should book now or wait and see...

Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks!!

I generally book as soon as the booking window opens. I bought my Dec flights the day they opened for booking. Flying first week in Dec.
Can farAes go down? Maybe. But it's nothing I count on. Know what you want to spend and then when you see a fare you are happy with, book it. You can always get a credit if the fare goes down.

I've flown in Dec and like PP, always book when the prices become available. If the fare drops, JetBlue should give you a credit (not a refund). You could apply that credit to future trips or for checked bags.

We are going the 1st week of december. I booked our flights to Orlando this week because they were cheap thru Southwest. Next month we will probably book our return flights. We split them to save the hit on the wallet.

the best fares for me out of Bradley on SWA are between 2 and 3 months out. But I booked our trip as soon as fares came out this time. I was shocked to find a non-stop, mid afternoon,outbound the day after Thanksgiving for $91 each and the same return fare on 12/6. The outbound flight is now $262!!!!

WOW!! That's an awesome deal! Good for you!! Our inbound flight was $98 when they were first posted so we jumped on it, I wish our outbound could've been that cheap too.

Thanks, we wound up just jumping on the low-ish (relatively speaking) fare last night. DH & I fly at least once a year so we're fine with the JetBlue credit, but since we're bringing our inlaws who NEVER fly I just wanted to make sure I was making tthe best decision. I actually found a histocrical data chart for flight fares that helped me as well.
