I am going on vacation in Fort Lauderdale, FL, for a 8 days in about a week. My husband wants to fly out for the weekend, from Chicago, but even though I paid 129 round trip for the flight, he can’t find anything less than 350 now! The plan is to wait until the very last minute, and hope for the best! I’ve been on hotwire, farecast, orbitz, and everything else I’ve ever heard of, but still no good deals! Does anyone have any secret tips, like waiting until the day before or the day of, calling the airlines, an awesome travel agency, any tips at all?! We are getting desperate!

my husband and i want to go on vacation to the carribean this fall. specifically thanksgiving weekend b/c that’s whats best for us as far as work and childcare. we are wondering if last minute travel deals are always better than booking in advance PRICE wise, not super picky about specific amenities or luxury anything. online pricing, it seems that as of right now, jamaica seems to be the cheapest, but we always hear that last minute deals are awesome, just don’t know if thanksgiving weekend might actually be MORE expensive or less expensive compared to other weekends. my thinking is that most people fly home to random places in middle america, rather than fly out to vacation destinations??? or might there be many of us hoping for the same deal?
