Flying NYC to Orlando last week of August. Anyone know a good time to buy tickets?

I looked last week and today they are $40 more per ticket. I hate buying plane tickets, the prices are always all over the place.

...if you can tell me the bast time to buy a lottery ticket. But seriously I just read an article last week that the worst day is Friday and better over the weekend. It's pretty much a crap shoot and I'm sure prices are adjusted (hourly) based on demand. I recommend buying when you can live with the price.

Thank you, I REALLY hate buying plane tickets, it seems so arbitrary with the pricing. I wish the price was the price, period. So annoying to have the price go up and down, up and down, with no rhyme or reason.

There is a reason to it. It is all based on supply and demand. I don't worry about the price. I just book when it is reasonable.

Depends on the airline as well. Southwest tends to drop at about the two month out time, unless they don't. I know that sounds bad but for our last five trips they have including our one last year in Sept., BUT I have seen them drop for a couple of hours and then go right back up again. Last year for our Feb. flight I checked them at 5:30 am and the price had taken a huge drop (Nearly $100) so I booked them but at 7:00 am when I went to show my husband they had increased again. It's enough to drive you crazy!

I usually book tickets for either JFK or LGA 8 weeks out and get great prices I use Delta o American. I have been doing this for over 5 years and have always gotten great prices
