Being able to get the most convenient flights outweighs the possibility of saving a few bucks (not that I've ever found fares to be cheaper as that link indicates -- but maybe I've just been unlucky). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2260076 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:43:05 +0000 catomd00 2260076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'd do it as early as possible. Sometimes Tuesday's or Wednesdays have lower prices. I wouldn't wait for a sale becaus holidays are typically black out dates anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2260022 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 14:12:24 +0000 regberadaisy 2260022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: wow! Very interesting. Thank you! We actually decided it didn't make sense for me to extend my stay since the kids will be in school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2260006 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:49:33 +0000 BananaPancakes 2260006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/week-best-bargain-holiday-fares-skyscanner-data-shows/story?id=32988978" rel="nofollow">http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/week-best-bargain-holiday-fares-skyscanner-data-shows/story?id=32988978</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2241219 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:39:32 +0000 Truth Bombs 2241219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I've had nothing but good experiences flying Southwest with LO as a lap infant or a seated toddler (once she needed her own seat we started always bringing her car seat on and installing it in the seat). Our favorite thing about southwest is that you can cancel your flight any time with a full credit which is awesome since you just never know what will happen when kids are involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2241210 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:25:51 +0000 regberadaisy 2241210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: @Mrs. Microscope: I've never flown southwest with kids. It will be with a lap "infant" and 3 yr old. Opinions? And I've only flown southwest once before! Usually JetBlue is just as cheap for my route and I vastly prefer JetBlue especially with kids for how roomy their seats are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2241151 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 17:18:49 +0000 Truth Bombs 2241151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always wait for southwest sales. They had an amazing sale a few weeks ago and my parents booked their holiday flights to come here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2241072 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 15:46:47 +0000 winter_wonder 2241072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say no later than September </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2240933 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 14:05:51 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2240933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours a few months ago... But we are going to a small airport that only has one direct flight a day from our city, and it's a small plane and pricing only goes up! With Southwest always book early, and if the price drops you can cancel and rebook no penalties. Also, use the kayak flight predictor tool to check your route and see what it recommends. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-travel-airfares#post-2240911 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:50:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2240911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When would you purchase airfare for travel around thanksgiving for domestic travel to get the best pricing? </p>
