Default airfare

Will the airfare go up or down as we near January? I have a group trying to go down then and we don't know whether to buy tickets now for about $460 from cleveland or wait for a better fare. Any ideas or past experiences?

Just looked for my sister-in-law: JFK TO SD in Dec. $638. What airline did you call? I'd say buy it unless the situation gets worse and not many are flying, then the prices might come down. Send a e-mail to me: denia155@msn.com. Jim

Buy Now-I've been going to RD for the past 5 years and the best price I've ever is $442.(all taxes included) from Toledo.

Default Re: airfare....fly Cle. to D.R. monthly.....

....on AA. $460 is a steal . Jump on it NOW. Avg. norm in the 550-600 range. Now if you are going on Continental or anyone other than AA, (unless its the charter to Punta Cana) you cannot get to the DR from Cleveland in one day. Your route will take you thru NY and can't get the next "leg" till the next day.

Take care. Dave

I agree. At this late stage in the year, $460 might be as good as they come. You won't want to hear what I am about to say, but US Airways had a Carribbean fare for $268 RT through March 2001 two weeks ago. The fare sale ended on September 30, 2001. You may want to sign up with both Travelocity and Expedia Fare Watcher. Providing both sites with your originating city, destination, and preferred price range. They will notify you if there there is both a price change or drop to your preferred fare. One thing you and everyone should think about. We are in some strange times in wake of the events of September. Hard to predict the direction the travel industry will move in light of increased security, the fear of flying, and continous threats on America. Having said that. In July 2000 I booked a RT ticket to Santo Domingo for Carnival in February 2002 for $218 RT, a record breaking steal. These type of deals come and go, and at unpredictable times. With many destinations being desperate for business, and the airlines suffering so greatly, I would not be at all surprise if the Thanksgiving holiday brings a "bag full" of fare goodies. Michael

Default Re: Never over 385 from CLE

I have been going down for 5 years and all times of the year. Have never paid over 385 RT from CLE to sdq or pop. You have to check everyay and keep at it. I took 8 last trip and paid 335 out of CLE. Dont give up keep trying you may get better deal.
I live in Columbus and drive to CLE to fly when the price is to high out of CMH.
Have a great trip.

That is great George! Need you as a travel agent because I have NEVER found that rate with AA.....even as a Gold member.

When you find that rate the next time would you please send me an email? Thanks!

Best, Dave
