Let's not lose our heads because of a $20 increase. Same shit happened last week.

I'm waiting until Matty buys at the end of February. :wink:

Part of my apprehension is based on your data from 2012.

@mafufero - take it for what it's worth...it's last year's data and United is a different beast after the merger.
MY flight went up about $60, so...fook me. But...it did this last Tuesday as well. Last week, I told myself that I would pull the trigger this week, so if it goes back down to what it was...bang!

@matty223 - yeah, got it...that's what the :wink: was for...that's my plan too.

Good point about the merger, I'd forgotten about all that even though it wasn't that long ago. Hell, it even looked like American might go under at one point last year. Good luck with your purchase.

Prices went up $65 last night on round trip ticket, now $1086 (same price for April and May). That's an increase of 86 dollars since last week. Damn!

I know most people like to fly direct but JFK-DUB-AMS is a decent option at $802. The added bonus is on the return. US Immigration and Customs are done at DUB so arrival in JFK is as a domestic flight saving quite a bit of hassle when you are knackered. http://www.dublinairport.com/gns/at-the ... rance.aspx

When you write that, I assume you really don't mean that, because if you do buy three one-way tickets, you'll pay a lot more as opposed to buying a 'multiple destination' ticket (Home to Rome, then Amsterdam to Home), and then perhaps buy a separate one-way from Rome to Amsterdam. Sorry, don't mean to get into your business, I would just hate to see you pay way more than you need to for a trans-Atlantic flight.

@Sailor59: Thanks for that bit of info regarding Ireland. By the way, I noticed that you will be in town in late May. I'll be in town for about 17 or 18 days in May and early June. I'll be staying at Hotel Voyagers, May 27-31. The rest of the time I'll be at an apartment in Oud West and then for a few days with a friend in Almere. Hope to see you there, man.
