Funny story about that ( now it's funny)
Every year 5 of us go fishing in FLA Keys. We watch for sales. A few years
ago I was checking and -bingo- FLA tickets on sale for $159 r/t. I send
emails to confirm - "these dates OK ?".
Within 15 minutes they all replied - "good for me, let's do it". I go to buy
it and it's gonna be $229 ??!! I send another email about the price jump:
they already bought and they each got $159 price. SO I did the homework and
THEY got the last of the cheap seats on that flight and MY ticket price
jumped up! Since they each saved $70+tax , I got free meals for the
weekend.
The lesson : when you see the price - don't wait.



Back in 2002 we were invited to a wedding in Colorado. My wife called
about plane tickets from Buffalo to Denver departing Sept.12 and was
told they would cost $415. The next morning I talked to my boss to book
the time off and called her to tell her to get the tickets. They had
jumped to $570, and she was told that prices vary from day to day. Nuts
to that, we would keep calling back and if the prices fell we would get
them, if not, we wouldn't bother going. After a few weeks of frequent
calls we thought about leaving Sept.11, the first anniversary of the
9/11 attacks. .... $415.
