LoDivaLoca, I bought my tickets from Continental in February for an April flight. I paid $214 round trip from Newark, NJ and then my mom and brother wanted to join us about 2 weeks before the trip and they paid over $600 for the same flights (they wouldn't go on other flights to make it cheaper). However, when we were on our flight home a woman told us that she booked her tickests just 3 days before the flights and paid $175-go figure! I realize it's safer to buy ahead, however, for my trip next April the Continental flights are all over $400 and they told me to expect discounted fares to come up later on. So, for now, I'm taking the gamble that seats will still be available knowing I may have to be flexible in times going.
One question though, could you tell me how you put that great Nightmare Before Christmas picture on your posts? I have seen lots of pics from different people and can't figure out how to do it. Thanks, Carolyn
