I'm a total flight newbie, so hopefully there is some sage advice here that can help me make a wise decision:
DD and I are traveling to MCO on 10/21, returning on 10/26. There are two flights that are perfect for us to travel on ($161/ea., on a 4:55 takeoff to MCO; $211/ea. on a 7pm takeoff to STL. Total cost for us is approx. $740 for round trip)
These are the times that would be most opportune for us with our schedule. I'm fearful that if I don't just go ahead and grab them now, I'll lose the chance at them. However, like everyone else here, I'd like to travel as inexpensive as possible. The Wanna Get Away rates aren't cash refundable, and I'm honestly unsure if I'd make another flight trip somewhere in the window allowed to redeem the difference in rate.
Am I worrying over nothing? Should I just pull the trigger and be content with having flights I know I want, even if I end up paying more than I could have if I waited it out? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
I know for me I just usually pull the trigger when I find the flights that work for me and what I want. Ive read article after article that says the flights are cheapest 3-4 months out. IF you can wait, and are willing to sacrifice the times then I say wait. Othewise, pull the trigger and GO FOR IT!
