Wait or buy for a late June Flight US to Sao Paulo

Would you buy now for a Chicago to Sao Paulo to Campo Grande flight? Or hold off?

Thank you.

What sort of prices are you finding right now? How much? Which airline?

I was open to the airline(s). It looked like $1500.

Thanks Johnwm.

The economy doesn't look to be in great shape at the moment, and it's doubtful that it will improve quickly. Moreover oil prices seem to be dropping daily, atravelynn. This is a classic recipe for a drop in discretionary travel.

One piece of advice that I would share is to check weekly for your route, and then wait until after all the holidays. Most vacation planners purchase in January or later for summer travel.

Good luck and keep on trucking!
