I'm stuck between the horns of a dilemma. Our trip is coming up in February (18th -> 26th). I have the flight down booked - I purchased one way tickets from Jet Blue from Providence to Tampa. The price was really good, i.e., low enough that I could use my skymiles to pay for my family of 4. Now I need to book the flight home.
We're quickly approaching the 60 day mark and I'm getting nervous - I need to act sooner then later. Since booking the first leg of the trip, I've been logging into jetblue a couple of times a week to see if any price changes and this morning I saw that it went from 473 to 563 Prior to that its been locked in at 473
Long story short, I see a delta flight from TPA to BOS (We live in Boston, so the flight back saves us a trip from providence) for 506, and that's not terribly higher then the 473 and its going to Bos. Plus the flight departure is in the afternoon and not the morning another plus.
I know trying to guess if flight prices is like trying to nail jello to a tree, but I need some cooler heads to help point me in the right direction.
What are people's opinion on waiting vs. buying now?
Do you think Omicron will cause the prices to decrease? I didn't see any downward when the Delta variant was making innroads.
I really don't want to wait so long that the price goes up and I have no choice to take what is there, and while 500 per person is very expensive, its been worse.
