NY-Paris Airfares for November
R/t airfare is down to $402 for Thanksgiving week. Does anyone have any insight on whether I should buy tix, or wait in hopes of lower fares? TIA!

Taxes included? I'd go for it, but I'm sure there're people who'll tell you to wait.
|
Take it. It won't get lower than that.
|
I'd buy it. In May we paid $350 r/t for the same week thanks to an Air France sale. I agree w/others, I doubt it'll go lower. Good luck.

Hi Sadie,
Will you be more disappointed if the price goes down $50 or up $100? |
I would buy now.
|
In any case, doesn't the airline give a voucher if you see that the fare goes down? Your risk that the fare goes lower seems mitigated by this.

I don't think that they do this for discounted, non-refundable, non-cancellable tickets. Am I wrong? |
That I'm not sure. Well, I did ask for my ticket for Paris for Labor Day weekend, and they promised a voucher if the fare went down. I think that my ticket is non-refundable (presumably) -- changes are $200 per segment.
This was on AA. The ticket was $670, or something. Not cheap, but it was the cheapest I could find -- I assume that it was the most restrictive as well. |
By the way, I bought the ticket directly from AA -- not sure what would happen if you buy from Orbitz or its equivalent.

Hi 111,
I think that if you pay $670, they'll be nice to you, but not for $402. :) |
Well ira, but I'm leaving in September. :-) You know how weird the airfare structure is. What I mean is that the underlying restrictions for the 670 and the 402 are probably the same -- the difference in price is more due to the season than to anything else. I could be wrong though.
|
Thanks so much. I think I'll go ahead and purchase--and then not let myself check airfares anymore, lest it goes down. I probably wouldn't mind if it went down $50--but $100 would bum me out. Just wanted some advice--have never gone that time of year before, and wasn't sure what to expect.
|
I think that it'd be very unlikely to get a fare for $302 (down $100 from $402). In any case, as I mentioned, check to see if the airline will issue a voucher if that's the case -- it doesn't hurt to ask.
|
Buy it. You have already missed the BA sale for that time period. That is a good fare.
