I still haven't purchased my tickets for my November trip. Right now I'm looking at ticket prices in the high $300s and $400s. I've done this flight before and gotten a much better deal. All you experienced flyers out there, is it worth waiting a little more time to try and get a better deal? Thanks for any advice. (I'm flying out of DC).
November out of DC can be funny. We've done that time frame out of IAD 8 or 10 times. Right now, with oil prices climbing again, I'm inclined to buy any decent itinerary below $400.
We purchased tickets for our November trip in March. Paid $334 which I thought was a decent price. I would jump on anything under $400, same as Rick. I also recommend trip insurance for November since it is the tail end of hurricane season.
Thanks.......I should have bought them earlier. Now I'm getting antsy; looked again this am and the best deal I could find was US Air through Charlotte for $395. All I have to do is purchase mine, and the price will go down for you
I just purchased my tickets last night for STT for February out of IAD (Dulles)on AA we got them for $383.00 a piece. I've done much better than that before but I was afraid to wait any longer myself with the price of fuel going up every day. I find that the choices of flights are really terrible here lately. Last February I flew United (direct) to STT for a little over $300.00 but I think those days are gone for a while. Good luck!
I'm looking for November out of DC too. Right now I see $288/RT + fees from DCA on AA but the flight times at that rate aren't what I'd like so I'm procrastinating... Ya' never know with these things...
Like she said...being from Houston...I thought I got a great deal when I bought our upcoming June tickets back in December at a little under $500 pp r/t. The day before I bought and the day after it was around $700 pp r/t. Yep, we Texans do envy those cheap East coast fares.

I've been watching November flights for about a month now and for Buffalo they're holding steady around $450 including taxes. Last year when I bought them for this past March they were $700! But, I'm holding off still-when I check seat availability they're completely open on all the flights-it's really bad looking. Normally at this point I'd think they'd be at least 50% full. Says alot about the economy
I found airfare last night from Detroit for $379 including taxes and fees for November and know I should jump on it. It's hard to take the plunge after only being home a little over two weeks.
