Air fare question

Hi ladies!

I don't post often, but my husband and I are planning a trip and I'm hoping you can give me some advice. We are planning to go yo Key West over Labor Day weekend and the cheapest air fare I can find right now from Baltimore to KW is $352/pp.  We are tempted to book right now, but I'm not a seasoned traveler and I don't know if I should take the jump or if I can expect prices to drop significantly in the next month or so.  Does anyone have advice on this or KW in general? (We were there once for a few hours as a cruise stop and I've been dying to go back)

Thanks in advance!!

Re: Air fare question

  • Bing has a fare predictor that gives you a buy now or wait indicator as well as a % confidence indicator.  Try that.
  • We are heading back to kw for our third time next month. I don't know about airfare as I booked ours last Aug. I did troll around Kyak but booked on the airlines website directly as there was no difference in price between Kyak, the airline, orbitz or Expedia.

    I do have two detailed reviews and pics in the link above my siggy pic.

    I haven't noticed any differences in pricing between sites either, which was one reason I was questioning.  I'm heading to read your reviews right now!

  • That sounds like a pretty decent rate for Key West... I would book now just in case. There are a lot of sites that will reimburse you if the rate lowers... I think it's either Orbitz or Expedia, and Yapta is a service that will alert you and help you get back your money.

     Just keep in mind that will be around Hurricane season in Key West so you may want to look into trip insurance just in case. My in-laws live in the Keys and it's a great place to visit!

  • Btw, that is a good rate for KW. I just looked up our airfare and it roughly came to $421 pp. However, we are flying from philly to Miami, renting a car, driving to Key Largo, staying there for a night, driving in to Kw the next day,then flying out of KW a fee days later back into Philly. So ours is really two one way flights as opposed to one round trip flight. I don't know if that made a difference in price for us or not.
