| Does This Avatar Make My Butt Look Big? Minor Deity  |
We have a wedding in Arizona on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. That means we have to fly the Friday after Thanksgiving, returning the following Monday. I'm seeing some pretty hefty prices for flights -- like $475. Does anyone have intel on when we should buy these tickets? Buy now? Wait? | ||

Are there other nearby airports that you can check for cheaper airfare? Don't know how many people in your party will be flying, but if you have 4 people and can shave $100 per person by using a different airport, that's $400 with a fraction that can go to ground transportation to/from that alternative airport. Good luck and safe travels.

Gee $475 seems cheap to me. What do you usually expect to pay?

Not sure about holiday weekends, but we usually fly LAX - CLE for about $120 round trip. Brutal Spirit Airlines redeye, but it's cheap.

You could check out the app "Hopper" - it gives guidance just for this situation...

Thanksgiving is the busiest travel weekend of the year. Airlines always jack up prices. | |||

I was thinking the same thing.

$350-$375. We can fly out of any of three airports, so usually there's something that works for less. | |||

Then it's the bad timing to blame. Can you travel for a full week to avoid the holiday gouging?
