Best Cheap Airfare

airline tickets - cheaper prices?

Is there a certain time of the month that you can book airline tickets at a cheaper price? Just a week or two ago the prices were $150 less than they are today for where I want to go. I was wondering if you get better prices when you book closer to the end of a month, even though you are booking for a few months in the future.

1. I think at least 2 weeks earlier may get you a better deal. For international, you may want at least a month.
2. I have worked for the travel industry and this is how it works. There are no best time for booking a cheap flight. It all depends on the availability of the seat. The plane is divided into price sections. When the first lets say 30 seats are sold at a cheap rate then the price goes up and keeps going up until they are making a killing. If the time is coming closer for the flight to take off lets say a month and the plane is empty they will release those seats at a really cheap price as they wanna fill them in but when the plane is so full that there are only a few seats left they will charge a lot of money for this. There are peak seasons and offpeak seasons where you can book flights really cheaply but you wont know anything cause they will never tell you when the plane is full. The best way to do this is go to the Airline website and check the flight status and their prices and then see if the travel agency can beat this. So unfortuanately when you book a cheap flight and the plane is empty the preson next to you could have gotten cheaper because he booked just a couple of weeks before the flight and the airline made a deal. So the best way to do this is check the website everyday for specials
