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 checked and the cheapest I found was pretty much the same price you had. Only thing I can suggest is try with two tickets. See if you find a cheap ticket to anywhere in the States and a cheap flight inside the States.

What you can try is ask a travel agency to reserve a flight for you (usually you can reserve them for 3-7 days) and keep checking. Fuel is getting cheaper so airlines are slowly lowering their fuel tax and that can be quite a bit on long distance flights. On the other side if you wait too long prices might explode even more.

Oh, did you check the airlines websites for JAL and ANA? Might be worth a try.
