Hi Becca,
The airlines have not started publishing discounts and
special rates for September yet. It seems that the
best window of opportunity is during the 2 to 4 months
before you travel. I looked at some of the lower
fares being offered right now and none seem to extend
past the middle of May. The next round of discounts
(which cover the summer) should be out this month,
after that the fall discount rates will be published -
maybe in another 6 weeks or so.
You might consider using the farewatcher on Travelocity. It sends you an e-mail when prices to your destination city go up or down. While it's still best to check yourself on a regular basis, the farewatcher may be able to notify you of something you overlooked. Michele Oakland, California |
