Ticket with Continental : Now or last-minute ?

[m555]

I want a ticket from EWR to POP in january, dates flexibles.

Is it better to reserve now or wait last minute ? Does the prices fall before the date of departure ?

Thank you.

AA will adjust the price of your ticket if there is a lower priced ticket on the market. Probably Continental will do the same. Then it would make sense to buy now.

There will be a 20-40 dollar surcharge added soon for fuel, so buy now

Don't know if you're booking online with Continental direct or one of the discount online travel agents. You can subscribe to www.travelzoo.com and they will announce by e-mail any flight saver fares airlines are offering.
Either way, can save some $ booking online.

Best of luck!

Hi ... thanks for this web site but looks like all fligts start from the States?

I am living in the DR do you have any other web sites that travel from DR too?
I have www.travelocity.com and used them back in June when I travelled from DR to Maine.

Thanks !

Yes, they do originate from US, Chester. I noticed that M555 requested a flight from Newark, New Jersey. Can't say that I know any flights 'originating' in the DR. I believe if you call the airlines directly, they'd be able to tell you whether you can purchase tickets in 'reverse'. Great thought and something to investigate!

Good luck to you and I'll be sure to post what I find.

to the main carriers on www.aa.com or www.continental.com
you can book flights ex POP to where-ever directly (you will however probably need a US based credit card)
prices are usually as good as any web travel service

Just keep in mind that if you are thinking of buying last minute on a scheduled airline flight........you need 7-14 days advanced purchase!

tickets from Continental for January,05. @ $585.00 return from Omaha to POP. American wanted $1100.00 for the same. This is the cheapest I have found and I have been checking for months. Plus we wont have to change airports in New York as one has to do with American Airlines.

Now you can use your DR issued credit card with continental.com. When you go online when ask you for the billing adress just change the country to Dominican Republic and done. You will be bill in pesos.

The only thing is you must enroll in One Pass to complete your operation.

Hope it help.
