Who's Waiting With Me!!

okay I know that Jet Blue has November fares out, but I am I still that only one holding out for 'specials' for November flights (non Thanksgiving)? The past 2 years I have booked my tickets in July/August and have been able to get some pretty good deals. I know that the deals may not be as great as in the past, but maybe better than 257.00 BOS to MCO.

What do you think? Any one else holding out?????

We are holding out . . .right now the flights I'm looking at from BDL - MCO are $362/RT/PP for the Sunday after Thanksgiving. We have a flight credit of $156.00/PP, but I really don't want to pay the $206.00/RT/PP difference. I still feel that the prices are going to come down a bit from there.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving is so busy it is probably unlikely that the rates will go down for flights on 11/26.

According to analysts quoted in today's Wall Street Journal (D1), fare prices are more likely to go up than down. A number of trends underlie this assumption:
1: Fuel prices are up, sharply (as we have all felt)
2: More Americans are travelling domestically (and less overseas due to the declining dollar)
3: Airlines have reduced the number of flights systemwide (flight schedules show a 4% drop from last year)

So higher demand plus lower supply, exacerbated by soaring fuel costs and it seems we have a recipe for much higher airfares, fuller flights and less need (and ability) for the airlines to discount.

You might get lucky with a fare sale for the times you're planning to go, but most of the indicators are pointing to higher fares everywhere.

Good luck!
