Consolidators? Websights? 800 numbers? Well its all good but Jennifer, if you are going on your honeymoon in early November I would like to say that this is one of the lowest peak travel times of the year for Europe and domestic travel. Most people don't travel in early November because they plan to do their travel over Thanksgiving. <BR> <BR>Two years ago I got a ticket to Munich from Los Angeles for $315 round trip! HOW? Well , if you have patience and a semi flexible schedule, wait. The prices will fluctuate and go up and down but the best fares will come somewhere aroung 45 days before your departure date. This is when the airline decides that they cannot sell the seats at the full fare, and offers great discounts. You have to be patient and check the airfare sights everyday. In some case, the airline will not lower the fares because they can get the price. Its retail. Believe me! I work in corporate retail, here is a true example. We are selling swimwear right now and planned a markdown in about a two week to help clear the goods. Well, in this cold weather the good are selling above expectation. Today we decided, NO DISCOUNT. Why should we lower the prices if the fish are biting? <BR> <BR>Anyway, the fish don't bite so much in November.This is all good as long as you don't fly too close to that crazy Thanksgiving weekend. <BR> <BR>I have been looking for a ticket to Munich for a number of months . I am traveling in late April. The fares have been posting at around $1100 for United and Lufthansa. Then all of a sudden POOF! Last week on Thursday the fare lowered to $550. Thats a great fare from Los Angeles and its just a bit over 45 days before my departure. <BR> <BR>Sometimes it doesn't pay to plan too far in advance. When the airline first posts the ticket its at full price, then they lower it (to fill the plane), then when they gets closer to the departure date it goes up again.
