Will Flight prices go down?

I went ahead and took the advice of everyone here and booked the room directly with the hotel. I am staying at the Flamingo July 14-21, and it is 833 for the week. If you have read my other thread, I am concerned about the flight prices right now. When is the best time to purchase the flight? Do prices fluctuate the closer it gets to the departure date? I have heard that the flight prices will only go up as it gets closer.

Will Flight prices go down?

typically prices go up. there is a possibility that prices will go down, but it%26#39;s more likely that they will go up. if you can fly southwest, they will let you rebook the lower fare and give you credit for the difference.

Hey neighbor! I%26#39;m going July 19-22 and staying @ Caesars. I haven%26#39;t purchased airline tix yet. I%26#39;ll probably purchase it next month or early May. After that prices will most likely go up. The price hasn%26#39;t moved much in the past 6-8 weeks. Good luck on your trip %26amp; take plenty of sunscreen.

Make sure to take a look at my post on your previous thread. I found you 1 stop tickets for 315 and 275 depending on the airport.

I really think the price on Southwest will come down. Sign up for DING, their email weekly specials, and check their website everyday. Good luck!

Remember - if prices go up closer to the departure dates it may be because of the advance purchase, if they go down it may be because of seasons specials. ';they'; don%26#39;t know your departure date -

Can%26#39;t quite figure out how to word what I%26#39;m trying to say.. Am I making sense? ;)

yes i understand. pretty much, what I am asking is, since I keep hearing about how Las Vegas hotels drop their rates in July due to them trying to get visitors there, would the flights also drop a little? Like if a flight is only half booked 3 weeks before the departure date, do airline companies lower their fares to get it fully booked or do they just let it ride?

The DING fares are normally pretty close to departure. I%26#39;d think they are the ones that have more seats available.

hotel rates are more likely to go down unless it%26#39;s a really busy week, and you can book now and lock in a rate and then call and ask for it to be lowered if you see lower rates come around. with flights, the rates are more likely to go up and you can%26#39;t adjust your rate after you booked, so it%26#39;s better to book earlier rather than later.

Sign up for the Travelocity service where you tell them your price range and dates and they will email you when the price falls under that price. Once that happens find out what airline it is and go to the airline site and book directly from there.

The only other thing you can do is look every day and hope that you hit it on a down time. As I said in the other post our $177 was very random and went up to over $300 right after we bought the tickets. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. Set what you are willing to pay for the tickets and happy hunting.
