Flight prices: MAD to IST July 11...will they drop??

Hello fellow travelers!

I have been diligently watching flight prices on kayak.com and mobissimo.com for my upcoming trip to Istanbul. I'll be flying from Madrid on July 11 and returning July 15. I started tracking the prices about 3 weeks ago and they were around $350 but going up. I stupidly thought they would have to come down. Unfortunately, they have risen to $500!! Do you think they will drop at all soon? Any other websites I should check?

Any suggestions would be most helpful! Thank you!

Hi A,

You are traveling at the hight of the season.

Prices aren't likely to go down as you approach your travel date.

You could hope for a special sale, if the the plane doesn't fill.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to buy tonight. Too bad I didn't snatch them up sooner!
