The last time I bought a plane ticket was in 2005, so I feel completely out of my element here!
I've been told that the best time to buy is between 49 and 56 days before your flight. (I know these numbers sound crazy, but I figured that would translate to approx 2 months before leaving. My mother-in-law, who flies to and from Orlando frequently, assured me that that was indeed the best time to buy and that I shouldn't worry about it until then.) I've been watching the flights for months, and my flights were fluctuating slightly up and down but nothing major. Just within the last week, however, they have all stated jumping, sometimes daily, always getting higher and higher but not going down. I was planning on buying within the next two weeks. Now I'm getting stressed that I already missed my window and that I should have bought last week. I just don't know enough about this to gauge whether this is a "sign" or just another normal fluctuation. Should I buy now or keep waiting?
