When to buy airline tickets?

[Symon]

Hi,

We are planning on going to WDW June 20-27th. I looked at plane ticket prices (we are flying from Seattle) and right now the cheapest I can find will cost our family of 4 approximately $2,000!

Do you think these prices will fall or rise? Should I buy now or wait?

Thanks for any advice

We are also going in June & are having a tough time with the prices,too. We found a great price getting there but the return flight is crazy! With the gas prices going up I've also noticed the ticket prices jumping up too.
Maybe you could keep checking on the flight you're interested in to see if the price changes?
I've been watching out for a few weeks & its definitely cheaper to search during the week.
Good luck!

I wouldn't wait. With the unrest in the Middle East and gas prices going up airfares are only going to get worse unless something drastic happens.

Also, purchase on a Tuesday or Wednesday, NEVER on the weekend.

Don't wait too long. We booked 2 weeks ago for our May trip for $179pp and checked yesterday and it almost doubled in cost!! If you find a price you are comfortable with I would book because the gas prices are going up quick!!

SYMON, I just looked up SWA 4-U.......U-R-right...$1974.00 rt. Alittle side note if you do book, do not book round trip, book two seperate tickets going and coming. Idon't know what is going on in your area but here in the midwest , SWA is trying to offer there Charge card with two free tickets Rt. with the first purchace using their card. You might want to check in to that. GOOD LUCK.

I would not wait. I brought our tickets about a week or so ago and they have gone up $150 per ticket!

This has been the highest I ever paid for RT to Orlando. Ended up paying about $350 per ticket, they are now almost $500 per ticket for the same flight (non-stop)

Thanks for all the helpful info, and reassurance. I was thinking I better buy today, for all the reasons you all stated, but it is nice to know others agree.

I guess I will go warm up the credit card!
