I probably won't be buying my plane ticket cross country for thanksgiving until the end of this month, are prices not going down anytime soon? Any forums regarding air travel you recommend?

For Thanksgiving travel, prices are only likely to go up and not down. It's the busiest travel weekend of the year, and since there is so much demand for travel and no more supply, the prices go up. Simple economic theory. You can always try to travel on one of the lighter travel days, such as coming back the Monday after Thanksgiving instead of Sunday or something like that.

That's the peak travel time of the entire year. Planes are always 100% full during the Thanksgiving holiday. Prices aren't going to go down; they've been steadily going up since the flights were announced. So buy them as soon as you can and don't expect any great bargains.

Airfares are based on availability. So as the lower categories sell out, the higher the fare goes. The day before Thanksgiving is the highest number of travelers of the entire year (travel industry calls it "Black Wednesday" for a reason) followed by the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
So, fares will just continue going up the longer you wait.

Don't bet on it. Thanksgiving is one of the most heavily traveled holidays and this is a consumer driven supply and demand economy. The greater the demand on a limited resource, the higher the price.

I'm sorry but they wont. You should get your tickets as soon as possible. Many airline tend to over book during the holidays and the ones who booked first, get a seat. I dont know of any online forums, so I cant help you there.

maximum airlines that I even have dealt with, Jet-blue and Usair fantastically, provides you with a voucher in direction of shuttle in the subsequent 12 months. they have in no way charged me a fee to try this and it has saved me assorted funds during the previous few years. in simple terms shop checking the fare on your flights and then call them as much as see in the event that they are in a position to deal with the hot fare.

I would expect prices to go up, not down. Good luck with this one.
