Re: Seasoned Travelers - Plane Tickets

Ticket prices are higher in August, for flights in August. Flights after the end of August are cheaper flights, but costs still rise as you approach flight date. It is about when the plane flies, not when you book.

The closer you get to the departure date, the more expensive the tickets are until the day before the flight, then they drop. Book as early as possible.

Yes, it is entirely possible your flight might be full if you leave it, and also the more in demand the flight gets, the higher the cost of each ticket will become.

Ah, okay. Then I am going to wait until the end of the month because I guess airlines slash prices then to get people to travel.

Never mind. D:

No. Sorry. I have been unclear.

Flights departing in August are more expensive because August is a vacation month. It will be a more expensive flight, regardless of the month you book it in. If your flight is outwith peak vacation time, then the price is cheaper than if it leaves during vacation time.

Separate issue.
Flights are available to book anything up to two years in advance (depending on airline). The cheapest prices are for people who book early. The earlier you book, the cheaper the prices. Prices continue to rise, as each seat is sold, until the day before the flight departs when they put any remaining seats on a rush-clear. If you look at a price today, and then go back tomorrow the chances are the seat price has now gone up a few dollars. Every seat sold marks the flight as more in-demand. The more in-demand the more expensive the remaining seats. If you know when you have to travel, book as early as possible. Yes, it is not unheard of for flights to popular destinations to be sold out even six months in advance.

Sorry to have conflated two issues there.

DA

While all of that is true in general, kaijin can probably afford to wait until the end of August or even later to book for a domestic flight that's more than 6 months away. Hell, I don't usually even book that early for international trips during much busier seasons. We're talking, like, Japan during hanami here.

DC is a major travel hub and there are tons of flights there -- there's also little reason why domestic flights in early March should be sold out so early.
