Crazy how airfare can change from one minute to the next....literally!!
I have been checking Jetblue's (we love the free bags & extra room) website daily for our plan tickets for the past 2 months....and they were around $290 - $320 for each of us round rip from NYC to Orlando for the specific times we wanted....other times were even MORE money. A few weeks ago I read an article that said the best time to buy your plane ticket is 53 days before your departure date. It showed that they woulds be lowest you could buy them around this time. Well day 53 for me was yesterday and still nothing
I told my husband that I would give it till Friday and if nothing came up we would have to suck it up and buy them at the $320 price!
Come to work this morning and got an email from Jetblue saying they had released their Fall Deals. I quickly went to check and found our flights for $268 each - $52 less than what they were the day before! Quickly I snatched them up! Purchased our 3 plane tickets + 1 lap child. I checked a few hours after I bought them, and they had gone up to 320 each! So glad I didn't wait till I got home to purchase them! SO if you see your airfare at the price you are willing to buy it....BUY them!
Now I can say that my vacation feels REAL! We are 52 days away...in a few days we pay off our trip and then we just have to wait for the day to get here!
