Flights for Christmas

[Queenk2]

I am looking to purchase air from either NJ Newark or another metropolitan airport for Dec 22 with a return on Jan1. I do need 8 tickets so price is critical! I am planning on buying one way tickets because I think that will be easier, however does anyone know when Jet Blue or Spirit release their seats for this day. I like Continental, however they always jack up the fare beginning with a week before Christmas...any good ideas out there in Cyber land?

Thanks,

Karen

Where are you going?

Flights first become available from around the 330th day from your return flight date, not going. Therefore you would have to wait until around( I am horrible in this type of math!) February 4th for the flights to be listed. I am assuming you are flying to FLL or Miami??????? So do some research and find out what a decent price in June, let's say would be, and then start checking prices for the dates you need. I did that for my upcoming Med. cruise and was surprised at the price I saw on the 329th day, so went ahead and booked and I am still the lowest for my flights!! Good luck.

Thanks. I have been researching and found Conintental has direct flights 79 each way ewr to pbi. I am concerned that they will hold back the holiday fares...as usually happens. Perhaps I will get lucky! LOL!

As I assumed Continental jacked up the price by hundreds starting on Dec20th. I did get lucky with Delta and booked non stop JFK to PBI for 180 round trip. I know thay are in bancruptcy, however I think they will fly for a long time...look at United and Continental before them.
