Hi all. I'm doing the ticket dance for the last week in July/1st week in August. They are pretty high from DC right now (yes, I know West Coasters, we're lucky, stop complaining, etc etc etc <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />). Question for your ticket savvy people - I usually purchase a few months out, but I'm wondering if I should keep waiting until tickets drop down to a price I'm happy with? Or are they going to go up from here? I know no one knows for sure, but would like to hear your opinions.
I remember when summer tickets in the $480 range was considered expensive. LOL
Thanks!

Thanks! On Jan. 8th, I could have purchased non-stop from/to PHL for $575. I decided to wait (After all of these years, what was I thinking? Actually, I wasn't sure how long I could stay, so didn't want to book.) Anyway, the prices have now gone to $775 for the same flights. So, I'm still waiting <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

I am going Thursday to Thursday versus Friday to Friday last year and it made a big difference also. It never hurts to ask.

Thanks! Wondering if you've booked yet? We are getting nervous about finding our July tickets....without them being a mortgage payment! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> I keep a spreadsheet of the fares we've paid historically for our twice a year trips....this year is crazy. We've joked about flying to France and then coming in on an Air France or KLM for less.
