When to purchase tickets?
Planning a trip to NYC for February, and wondering about when/where to buy tickets. Is there a certain day or time that websites put out new fares? I usually use travelocity or kayak for searching, is there another I should try? Just wondering when I should bite the bullet and buy the tickets.

kayak.com sometimes will give a chart that shows the history of fares between 2 cities and also which are the cheapest dates in a month if your dates are flexible. It's said that new fares are posted Tues. midnight/Wed. morning but fares change all the time. From where are you traveling?

Perhaps the reason you've not seen the history thing is b/c they don't do it for flights in/out of your city. I checked and it's not there. Probably used for more popular/bigger city pairs.
I see some very reasonable prices ($175-210) for Feb. both non-stop from Flint and also from MBS. Unless you've gotten prices lower than that, I wouldn't wait to book if you know you're coming.

Glad you found your fare! Here's the website with the bar graphs of rates on each day: http://www.skyscanner.net/wings.asp you need to click on the 'month' tab to get the graphs.
Thought you might want to use it for your next trip! Enjoy NYC!
