    Holy Cow! Airfares

    I broke down last week and bought our airfare for July. Now, I know we are a ways out but I just priced those same tickets. It is $350 MORE than last week. Holy cow, what are they thinking?!?!

    Of course, it could go down $500 by the time we actually go!

    doubt it with the cost of fuel and all the people that are traveling now.....
    probably more likely to go up $500 than down........you did well to purchase now
    Negril was the busiest mi have seen it since 2000........about time mon

    I couldn't believe the jack up in price. I was so glad I pushed that button when I did!

    That's for true! I have been watching airfare for months.. It was all over the place.. As low as 400 as high as 650.. 500+ avg.. Ended up waiting. - thank goodness.. Got mine for 392 each 1 month from takeoff.. I don't think there is a good answer except buy low, sell high? Lol

    Hey, you guys I found out on Yapta.com that if airfare goes down after you purchase your ticket, they will help you get the difference back. Worth a shot, every little bit helps towards your next ticket.

    I have never heard of that. I'll keep it in mind for the next trip. I am just hoping that I don't regret buying so early!
