I was booking a roundtrip to Vegas on JetBlue website. Around midnight I chose the seats and clicked "continue", and next I saw a message that there was a problem with my reservation. I had to restart it. When I ran the same search as 5 minutes earlier, the very same flight was $200 extra, and moreover, when I selected it, it showed that the seats I previously chose were gone. I went to Orbitz and bought the same flight at the original fare. Boo, JetBlue. Check your software. Well, guess what. I was booking a roundtrip to Vegas on JetBlue website.

Friend bought a ticket two weeks ago thru AT for $399 / ticket + tax then as soon as they bought tickets next day prices dropped by $150 per ticket. So there is no rule. same tickets in March were $799 + tax ALthough there are some rules but sometimes pays off to buy in advance sometimes to wait till the last moment.

Airlines only cancel the reserved seats which are on hold and are not paid after the ticket time limit expires. The best time to buy your cheap tickets is to book your seat well in advance. The seasonality of the travel is also very important. The flights in December, June and march break are always expensive as this is the high season for the Airline. Midweek flights are always cheaper than weekend flights. I have more than 10 years of travel experience in all these airline rules. you can also check the consolidator site http://www.FlyLink.ca to save money on your flights.
