To the frequent flyers!

[reppu]

Quick question for you frequent flyers: Is it better to buy now or wait? I'm going home for Christmas, but Dad thinks there might be better deals closer to the holidays, when airlines are trying to get rid of tickets. Add in the recent economic crisis, and he thinks that airlines will be begging people to fly. So should I wait? The lowest price I've found so far (Dec. 19 - Jan. 3 flying from Nagoya [NGO] to Atlanta [ATL] at any time, any class) is about $1500 on Northwest. Even though I hate Northwest with a burning passion, I can't argue with that price.

So, Frequent Flyers, buy now or wait?

I know, it's totally risky. I figure I won't save more than $200 at most, and I'm wondering if that's worth it, ya know? I hate gambling with airlines, because they are so unpredictable. @__@

I totally have United miles too, but their price is nearly $2000, and that's leaving from Tokyo, so I'd have to get there and back, making it about $2200. :(
