When to buy airline tickets - Iceland?
 
Hi everyone,

I will be going to Iceland this August. I have been checking for several months and the airline tickets are just so expensive. Has anyone had any experience with Icelandair and their "lucky fares"? Right now tickets are running around $1100. I will be flying out of Charlotte, NC - connecting in Boston or Baltimore and then on to Reykjavik. I keep hoping that prices will drop, but then again I don't want to wait too long and not get a flight. Any auggestions?

Thanks so much,
L

Haven't had luck with the lucky fares. Flying from NYC in Aug could be as low as $514. Mine leaving from BWI is 584. Say your ticket from Charlotte to NYC is 200, total fare is $800.

Late August you might see something. Kids are back in school then.

Just bought this morning for Sep 7 out of BOS for $565. August was a about $100 more, but I had flexibility, so went for the cheaper.

Sorry, let me clarify a bit more. My ticket is from BOS to AMS with a 3 night stopover in KEF.
