When is the best time to buy airline tickets?

[DWEBBNY]

We are going to WDW in September and the cheapest I have found from Newark to MCO is $240. Will it come down if I wait? I can't decide what to do.

It's anybody's guess! My theory is to buy when i believe that the fares are reasonable and affordable. Fares are like rollercoasters, they are up & down. Just keep checking daily and when they look reasonable, book them. If they go down afterwards, then you may be able to get vouchers for the difference in the price that can be applied to future travel. On the other hand, if they go up, then you can be glad you purchased them when you did.

I 2nd the opinion of Goof... Also, IMO (from a well learned lesson about 4 months ago) don't try to save $5 or $10 per flight, if it means you have to change planes more than once......... penny wise and pound foolish .

DWEBBNY, Continental and Delta fares have been awful. Im in Central NJ but am considering going to JFK and fly Jet Blue. The schedules for Delta and Continental have been changed and are either too late at night or have connecting flights that I just won't do. I don't understand why the schedules have gotten so bad!!

Hi Everybody,
Thanks for the respones. I decided to fly out of JFK and take Jet Blue. I got flights for $160 round trip. Much better price than flying out of newark.
