Dreaming of flying again?
If you’ve been dreaming of a tropical getaway, now is the time to consider booking your airline tickets.

Even better, airline ticket prices are currently lower than ever across the country. But don’t expect these cheap fares to last for too long! According to MarketWatch, “prices won’t stay low forever, and travelers shouldn’t bank on deals sticking around.”

For American Airlines, they just changed it so it can’t be a basic economy ticket. It says in the fine print while booking now.
Unfortunately, with my age and risk factors, I’ll only be able to fly again once there’s a COVID vaccine. 🙁
Smart.
Yeah I mean it may not happen in your lifetime but if you have no reason to fly then best not to risk it.
I canceled my flights this year and got a credit. when I tried booking for next year they are twice as much now! Double the price 😭
This is common – flight prices are often very high more than 6 months in advance because of how flight schedules are set. On average, prices are best about 90 days out from date of flight. HTH! 🙂
