do prices ever drop for the holiday season?

[wapo469 0]

looking at flights for my next trip...unfortunately the best time for me to go is after christmas, early january since its the slowest business time for me...

i went this past november and flew eva evergreen deluxe for just under $1000, now the website is showing the same flight at $2300 , am i just looking too far out?...or is that pretty much the rate for holiday times?

I have found economy flight for around $1000 on JAL and ANA since i live in Chicago and they shoot straight to narita from here, but i am 6'4" and am dreading the thought of doing the flight in economy...would rather be in premium economy, cause that eva flight was pretty nice

The airlines are kind of a futures market for airline seat revenue, and right now it looks like fuel prices are on the rise. I think I would wait a while and keep checking and pounce on it when it hits the $1500-$1600 range. I would guess in the July-August time frame. Good Luck.

The do drop. It happens on the day AFTER you buy your ticket.
