events. Passengers can expect to pay more for tickets purchased

see the bargains. If you fly tomorrow, you probably will pay a premium
for the seat. If you have to secure your seat weeks
or months in advance to guarantee your place, don't expect a bargain price.
Where are the bargains? Be flexible and travel when others
don't, or travel to locations that are not prime vacation destinations.

days out. Remember that airlines charge a premium if
