Anyone have any tips on when a good time to book flights to and in the US for February?
Should I book now or later?
To go from Toronto to california to florida and then back to toronto is about $560 US right now.
I use Kayak.com.
To fly from Buffalo is about 200 bux cheaper total but that means paying for gas/parkking plus all the time spent driving and crossing the border twice....bleh.

I think that booking when you find what you think is a good price is the best policy.
Some things, like going to Europe during the off season, is usually a safe bet for getting low fares, but in general...I don't think there are that many times when you can predict low fares within the US.
Of course, avoid holiday travel if you can. Also, as you probably know, try searches on varying days around your planned trip if you are flexible.

Imagine the souvenirs... oh, yeah, and the food.
Originally posted by MrHandI've poked around the net. From what other people have said, the best time is at 12:01am. This is the time the airlines adjust their prices.

Also, the best day of the week seems to be Wednesday.
The weekends are the worst because most people book their vacations on a friday/saturday/sunday (presumably when they are at home) and airlines know this so they jack their prices up for the weekend.
