When to buy plane tickets
I need some opinions. Just this past Sunday I found tickets for $700 for our trip to Europe next March. However on Monday the price jumped to over $1000 each and it's stayed there all week. Do you think there's a chance the price will drop again? Thanks!

Maybe and maybe. Determining ticket prices is lot like trying to predict the DOW. You need to buy when you think the price is right. They might have offered only a few seats at that price and now they are gone,

<< Do you think there's a chance the price will drop again? >>
The answer is driven by supply and demand. Given the number of people who are likely, next March, to fly out of the airport from which you will depart, on the day of the week that you have chosen... to the city you wish to reach, on the airline that you prefer...
... well, odds are, it might happen.
Unless it doesn't.
