Houston, do we have a problem?

Trying to book a flight out of IAH for June 5th and the lowest rate is $286 roundtrip. We are 100 days out....would you book now or hope something better comes along?

I'm having the same problem from San Antonio. RT is $350+!!! SWA went down slightly, so I booked SAT-MCO for July 2. If/when it goes down or I get a Ding, I'll use the voucher to purchase our return flight. I hope it works out that way, anyways...

I would book with SWA so atleast if the flights do go down you will have a credit to use at another time.

For the life of me I can't figure out airfare!

We booked our flights in December for our trip in August because I am so afraid the flights will go up and up. Last year we booked flights in April for travel in October, and by the time we were leaving the tickets were TRIPLE the price we paid. I have been watching our August tickets and the price has been the same for the past 2 months.

BUT...
I have gotten e-mails from Travelocity and American offering fares $74 per ticket LESS for travel through May. We can't go anywhere before May, but if we could, those rates would have been amazing! The problem is availability. The flights on American had pretty good availability, but the Travelocity flights wouldn't have worked for us because we would have been stuck flying in and flying home mid-week.

Our December trip is resting on airfare. I guess we just won't go if we can't get low fares! The wait will kill me!

www.bestfares.com has something for $215rt I have never used them but I saw them recommended somewhere.

Also I checked the American is cheaper than SWA that is available...are there frequent discount for Houston on SWA?

Checked Hobby and the rates are the same. SWA doesn't fly out of IAH, but I'd be willing to drive south to Hobby to save some $$.
