I've been tracking that KLM open jaws flight on Dreamliner 787 (sfo to amsterdam, return vienna to amsterdam to sfo). The rate was is up $50 to $1047 from that quoted 5 days ago. This feels like stocks i.e. you see a price and then it ticks up and my tendency is to buy fearing further rises. If the stock goes down I feel like maybe it will go down just a bit further. Where is that trigger??
When I look out 2 months the rate is $150 lower for the same flight. But at 3 months out and beyond it is looks like the same $1047.
I am not going to wait until 2 months before (in June) to book this. It feels like trying to make a purchase in stocks. One never knows what is coming next. So I'm inclined to pull the trigger now.
I'm not sure if you are saying you are going in June or in August...but you need to compare higher demand to higher demand prices..I think August might be primo demand for flights to Europe. Have you looked to see if any premium seats are open and the cost to upgrade..take this into account as well, as those seats tend to go early.
On my seat, I didn't feel suckered that the price went lower. I was only paying for one ticket, got the exact seat I wanted and really had only one flight to choose from so, I felt I got a good value even though I didn't get the cheapest fare.
