FLUFFLULA Posted September 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2017 We are cruising out of Miami for New Year's and need to make flight reservations from Atlanta. We're finding that flight prices are higher than we expected, perhaps because of Hurricane Irma. Should we "bite the bullet" and make reservations soon to assure we have seats or wait a few days/weeks to book hoping that prices come down a bit? BTW, we checked southwest to Ft. Lauderdale, and the prices are not much better after adding in the transportation to Miami. Thanks in advance for your recommendations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2017 You are trying to fly across a major holiday...that is the reason, not Irma. Who knows whether prices will go down. I can promise you nobody here will be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted September 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Trying to predict holiday pricing and availibility is impossible. But you DO know lots of people travel during holidays. I'd book now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawkfan21 Posted September 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2017 That's definitely a holiday thing. The hurricane now wouldn't be affecting flight prices that far out. Anything around Christmas/New Year's timeframe is going to be pricey no matter where you're going. There are flight tracker apps out there you can use, but since you're coming up on just over three months out and that's one of the busiest flight times of the year, I wouldn't wait long.

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If I was to take a guess the prices will not go down. I would have booked by now so I certainly would not wait. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
