April 2012 Airfares

[Luvsdaislands]

Hey Boardies!!!

The airfares for April don't seem to be coming down or cheap like they were last year at this time. Should I go ahead and book my airfare NOW or give it a few more weeks?

I am in the same boat and ended up booking. I looked today and Feb has dropped, so April just might as you get closer. But it could also go up!

I gave up and booked April out of NY $820/rt for 2. It was the best I could do. Not a lot of seats left either.

That's not too bad, we paid $550 each canadian from TO to MBJ for April 6th.
Our first visit to Negril!!

I totally understand luvs,I'm in the same boat as well. I'm coming from BWI and for my dates in May they want$463.07 for a single RT ticket.

I am from Maryland as well and just booked a flight on Air Tran out of BWI for March. The prices were high but I watched EVERYDAY and finally one day they had a sale $99 there and $129 back plus taxes, ended up with a ticket RT Non Stop for $332 which isn't too terrible. Be flexible and play with the dates and check everyday.
By the way....it seems as though there are a lot of us Maryland folk here on the board...we should all get together sometime....what do you all think???

That's a great rate as far as I'm concerned. Good on you....

[Iriesistah]

I Totally agree that it is a great rate...I am so happy. The day before I booked, the same flight was $463 and today I checked and the same flight is $463.07 again. It pays to keep a watchful eye!!!

I know what you mean, Luvsdaisland! The prices for April are almost $200 more per ticket than we have ever paid before! It’s insane! We were also hoping for an April trip to celebrate our anniversary.

The price HAS to go down. Whether or not we can take our next trip is dependent on that happening. We can’t afford it otherwise. I have my fingers tightly crossed

If I were you, I would wait. That’s what we’re doing.

In the past we have gotten the best prices by waiting a month and a half before departure. We’ve scored surprisingly cheap tickets that way.

But I’ve never seen the prices this high before.
