Do you think airplane ticket prices will go down after the holidays?

I'm planning to go to the Philippines next February, and right now the tickets there are really expensive. So, I was just wondering, do you think the prices will go down after the holiday season??




Answer 1 :
Most airline and travel websites are already showing good prices to the Philippines in February. Now and between a month or so out usually will have the best fares. Korean Air is showing a flight from LAX to Manila for $688, China Airlines for $732 and Philippine Airlines for $895, I don't think you can do much better than the Korean and China Airlines prices.
Although the Xmas season is one of the most expensive times to fly, prices in February aren't affected by the prices around Xmas. The Philippine Airline price might come down, but I doubt if the Korean and China Airline prices will get any lower. Also, be careful when you book in February, Chinese New Year is in February and prices normally go up on many Asian airlines that time of year.





Answer 2 :
Summer, the winter holidays, thanksgiving, and spring break are the times when airlines tend to make the most money. People want to travel to see their families or take a vacation at these times, and the airlines see that if people feel the need to travel at these times, the airlines can raise ticket prices. Early February, or even late January should be a decent time to book. A ticket to the Philippines will still be expensive because of the distance, but not as pricey as during the above travel primetimes.


It will definitely go down after the holidays because right now people want to go visit their family. So after Christmad and New Year it will go down.
