[Idyllchat] airline tickets

[Brian Cooley]

For the past few years, we have purchased our air tickets for Aug/Sept to
Switzerland in December.  We have found that the prices reach their lowest
point then.  I check periodically to see if I could have saved by waiting,
but have not yet found the prices to drop.  My wife recently saw a TV news
story suggesting that the lowest fares are found 3-4 months in advance, but
the story did not say if that included international flights.  We just
booked our 2008 trip from Los Angeles for $986 on American (same price on
Continental), all taxes included, which is about the same as last year.

I second the opinion of others to buy now.

Ed,
       Good question.  I am in the same dilema.  We are going to Paris first
part of Sept and leaving from Marseille 2 weeks later.  I can get tickets
right now for $1096 from Detroit.  It was up at $1286 a few weeks ago.  I am
thinking of waiting till after Christmas and hoping I won't be sorry.  Any
suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,
Donna
