Would it be cheaper to book plane tickets now or later?

Question

I am taking a trip to Florida in February 2009. I was wondering if the rates would be cheaper by booking now or if I wait a few months?

Answer 1

its cheaper now later on its more expensive

Answer 2

Hello,

How are you? I would book now if I were you, so that I would receive a less expensive rate. Here is where to book to also receive a less expensive rate http://www.cassandralanetravel.org  

Answer 3

the sooner the better. I booked thru southwest in Dec for a July trip and when July hit the fare was cheaper...I called Southwest and thye switched my flight and gave me the refund!

Its better to book now.

Answer 4

now  trust me, if you are traveling that far along the way, book now!

Answer 5

I'd check the rates now.  If they seem like a good deal I'd go for it.  It seems the airfares would go up due to the Fuel charges.

Answer 6

There is a website which will tell you!

For major airports, they find the price trends offered by airlines and tell you if the price is going up or down.

As well, you might find the program YAPTA usefull. You download it, tell it what flight you're taking and if the price goes down, it lets you know so you can try to get a refund from your airline.

Good luck!

Answer 7

That is a gamble. There no way in saying the prices will drop or rise. good luck
