Help with airfare for July!!!

[muntzfab4]

We are taking the 7 night disney cruise from July 24 - 31. We plan on arriving the day before (23rd). I have been watching airfares for 2 months now and nothing has come down. We are flying out of NYC, preferably LGA, and I have checked JetBlue, Delta, Song, and American. Fares range from around 220 - 250pp and we are a family of 4. I have been checking everywhere! Please help-
1. Is it possible to get a lower fare for July? If so, what would be considered a good fare?

2. Should I wait a little longer? Or should I book now?

3. If I book now and fares go down, can I get the lower fare?

All of you have been so helpful, I hope you can be again!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Last year we got GREAT fare out of Albany NY, 158 RT everything included. Not this year. We finally gave in and booked for the three of us at about 240 per person. WE are going end of June and coming back 7/4 (this was actually cheaper than 7/3 so booked POP for 60/night for the extra). Good luck

If your airfare for the airlines that you have reservations for goes down and there are still seats available on your flight you will be able to get a voucher for a future trip.

I would wait a bit longer. If you check the seat charts on Song for your dates, you'll see the planes are hardly filling up yet, so you won't have to worry about not getting a seat this far out.
I waited until the Song fares came down to $87 each way, since Song runs on one way fares, and then I booked. I actually booked my departure first for $87, and waited until the return came down, which it did a week later.

Do what you think is best your you, and good luck!

We just booked song from LGA for 174.49 round trip for July 11-16 for 6 adults. Recheck, they seemed to have gone within the last week. Good luck! We were in the same boat as you. I have never seen fares to Fla. this high!

Spirit Airlines has a $139/RT fare! Also if you really want to save a bunch, Newark has flights on USA3000 to Tampa for $59 each way!
