Hello! Trying to decide how far out (how early) to book flights for a cruise out of Port Everglades Fort Lauderdale scheduled for January 20, 2025. Haven't flown since 2006 so not really sure when to book our flight. Afraid if we book too early the flight could be cancelled or changed. If we book too late we will pay more for our flight than we need to. We want a direct flight since flying isn't my favorite thing in the world to do, so I know that limits our options. Definitely want to fly in 1 or 2 days early use to be safe.
Any help is appreciated. I know this may seem like a dumb question but its been nearly 20 years since we have flown so I am sure things have changed quite a bit.
Thanks in advance!
I usually fly AA because we take advantage of their points program. I have found prices and points go down about two weeks before a particular date. You can wait later to book, if you can be flexible. Non-stops are more likely to go quickly. FLL has many flights daily…January is not particularly tourist season… I’d start watching prices and snag them when prices drop or they have a sale!
