do you think the flight will go down or up if i wait because its 4 months away is it possible to go down because they charge more for being soo early or will it keep going up

Answer 1

Your link doesn't work. Most https links won't open because it is "secure".

4 months away will be low season. I am also planning to travel in October, but I won't buy anything expensive now. You need to know what's a good fare for your itinerary.

Answer 2

See the price of oil go up..........see the price of airline tickets go up..........think oil will continue to go up in the next four months..........you don't have to be a rocket scientist to continue this coversation.................

Answer 3

You can't guarantee it, but there's a chance that the price will go down if you check in 1 month or so. The airline is trying to make sure they cover their costs if the flight hasn't sold much.

What I like to do, is look at the flight, but just click on the seat/airline layout. You can see how close the flight is to selling out.

Also, don't just try expedia.com, etc. Look at the airlines' websites for prices and compare. Just because you're going on a discount site doesn't meant the prices are lower on there. Check around like mad for the best prices.

Answer 4

The only way you can guarantee a fare is to buy your ticket.

Until you buy it, it can do anything.

Answer 5

I could go down, but if it does it won't be "because they charge more for being soo early"  (they don't.)

It's  more likely to go up than down in the next few months.

Answer 6
