Prices for airfare?

Post by ZBeebs »

I will be flying into Amsterdam in September from New York (and then flying out of Barcelona), but haven't booked my flights yet. When I started looking a couple months ago, it would have cost around $850 round trip from NY. Yesterday I found flights for $585. Wondering if anyone has an idea if I should grab these now, or can I expect better deals as I get closer? It's still 5 months away. I've never flown internationally so I have no idea what to expect.


Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?

WOW, $585, coming from England that is over 10 times what i paid for my flights for my next trip to Dam (£45 return approx $60),

But i would grab your flights as early as you can so that u dont panic buy closer to the time 8)
