So, during last week, I thoroughly searched for an airline ticket, cheap one, to fly from Atlanta to Chicago, nonstop roundtrip on a weekend (Friday night-to-Monday morning), I found the following :
(8 days before flight date)
Expedia : cheapest was around $430
Cheapair: around $360
airtran: around $320
(no southwest in Atlanta).
so i settled down for the $320 deal. thinking it's as cheap as it could get since i'm booking the ticket only 8 days ahead. (thinking i'm "late")
I checked today, (2 days ahead), to see how high are the prices got, and i was surprised (and mad) to see that :
for the very same flying scheduel, but only closer to date, flying after tomorrow (in 2 days):
on all websites : $230 plus minus $10 !!!
Could somebody please explain to me ? i thought i'd save if i booked ahead of time ! should i book 2-3days only ahead of time from now on ?
Thanks
Leo
