Back when I first started checking on prices for our Summer Vacation to Niagara Falls, the cheapest flight cost I could find was $138 per person, each way, on Airtran.
Not being a seasoned airline traveler, I don't know much about flight prices; whether they'll go up or down the longer you wait.
I still don't, really. Maybe they usually go up, but in this case maybe less people are traveling because of the fear of the swine flu, so they had to slash prices to try to get people to fly.
The reason I thought about that was because, as near as I can remember, it seems like before, a few months ago, when I clicked on seat availability, there were more seats available now than then.
But, for all I know, maybe it's a different airplane.
At any rate, I checked again a few weeks ago, and the prices had come down to $118 pp. I researched around and tried to find out what was normal for airline ticket costs to do...should I go for it, or wait...couldn't figure out anything.
So, I left it again.
Then tonight I checked again, and the price had come down to $69/$89 pp.
Maye it would go down further, maybe not. I decided to not risk it, and went ahead and bought them.
They gave me a code for a deal on renting a car from Hertz, but I checked around some of the other car rental places and found a better deal with Thrifty Car Rental even without the Airtran code.
Hotels and transpo all booked. That's a big part of the trip planning out of the way.
