Flight Deals
I'm planning to take my three girls (6, 3, 3) to California for spring break in April. My husband will be unable to come along. I've been watching flights but they are astronomical. We're flying from the East coast. I obviously have time to watch them and pray they go down, but how early or late do you usually book to get the best deals? As of now they lingering in the $450 a ticket range x4 makes me a tad sick. Especially for a leisure trip.
I have the Hopper App but I'm not sure that it takes into account all the airlines.

Re: Flight Deals
I usually try to start watching prices and also play around with Hopper. Eventually you'll get an idea where the "good deal" is. You probably won't buy at bottom dollar, but you shouldn't be paying top dollar either.
Plus....spring break. Everyone wants to fly.....
Someday (hopefully soon) Scott's Cheap Flights will extend to domestic flights as well. That's going to be a game changer.
Frankly, H and I can often find international flights for about the same price as flying to the west coast.... which is why we rarely visit the west coast for pleasure. Obviously with kids this calculus changes since international flights can be much longer.
If this is a pleasure trip, are you open to other destinations/dates? Do you have points with any airlines?
My family lives in So. CA and I fly there from NOLA every couple years or so. For that area, LAX is usually the cheapest, but not always. San Diego and Santa Ana (Orange County) are typically around the same, with SD sometimes cheaper.
I've never flown into Ontario, but I'm glad @julieanne912 reminded me about it. I'd meant to check it out for my next trip.
The time of year is probably what is most tripping you up. If you have flexibility on days, departing/arriving on Tues./Wed./Sat. are typically the cheaper days to fly.
