Flight Prices

[emmaroo]

Do flight prices get cheaper or more expensive the closer you wait to book? Just trying to work out when I should book my flight to get the best deal!

 

Thanks

'Generally' Emma the earlier you book the cheaper they are.:yes:

 

But you could hoke up at the airport about three days prior to travel (proposed) and get a VERY late bargain through unsold seats, not something I would recommend though if you have a family.:no:

 

Have done it as a 'singleton' and struck lucky, but never with any major plans in place.

I think with long haul it gets more expensive.

With most airlines it gets more expensive unless there's a sale on. Generally, the first so many seats get sold at the cheapest price, and once they're gone, the next x number get sold at the next price bracket, etc etc. very rarely they bring the prices back down in a last ditch attempt to fill the plane in the couple of days before the flight.

When we looked at prices last August for the December (too validate visa) I could have had them for £230 each return (that was from Bangkok to Perth as we had already booked our xmas holiday before we got the visa). So decided to wait until we got to Bangkok then book...BIG MISTAKE... ended up paying £450.00 each for a 6 day return...... wouldnt hold out again would defo book...

And I paid just about the same amount but booked way back in April- so no I cant see it's cheaper even if you book really early....
