Playing Chicken with Air Fare

I guess you could say we played (a small game of) chicken as well but I flinched...early! When I first started looking back in November (for our July trip) Delta was the cheapest at $638. My husband told me to buy but I was sure it was going to go down. I held out for several weeks and we bought at $679. From there it went up to $800 so I was really glad we pulled the trigger. Yes, I look(ed) and they are at $759 now. I wish I would have gotten the $638 but I can live with the other and like you guys, we're going to STJ for our 30th anniversary! Yay us!

Well, you all got me curious. I just checked and the price on my flight has dropped more than $200 to a "fabulous" $744

, so I just tried to call Delta. I'm currently waiting for a call back. I'll let you know what I learn.

Update...After the $200 change fee, I now have a voucher for $13.33.

Oh well, I'm just excited to be going to my favorite place in FOUR days!!!!

Sorry your game didn't work out.... but I'd honestly like to thank you for posting this so we can all learn from the "predictor" feature. It's very interesting. Like I said, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but I appreciate you sharing the story.
I found myself getting anxious as I was reading through the three pages of this post. LOL

HAVE A BLAST IN OUR FAVORITE SPOT!!
