With the way airfare is rising, is it ridiculous to buy tickets for a Christmas trip right now?

I'm looking at flights to Miami for about $450 on American and I don't think I'm likely to get a better deal.

As long as you don’t buy basic economy you can always cancel and use the credit if it gets cheaper down the line

Depending on where you’re flying from, that seems like a good deal so may as well.

Round trip? Do it!

I go to Miami all the time, especially holidays, and I have rarely gotten a better deal — not even pre-covid, pre-Ukraine, pre-inflation…. you get the point.

They are really high, I agree.

Have you tried using skiplagged to find better deals?
