We are hoping to fly to Florida late June (June 25 or 26 to be exact). When will the best time to book be? Will prices go lower between now and then?

There is bo answer to your quztion. If you know your dates of travel, book the flights. Then keep watching. If fares go down, You can rebook to the same flights at no cost and pocket the fare difference as a travel credit good for future travel.

You can use Google Travel to track the trends for other airlines, Southwest won't be included but you can see their projections.

 

If you fly very often then the best solution is to book now and then re-book later to claim any drop in price as a travel credit. There is little downside to this unless you won't make any other flights and then can't use the travel credit.

 

Otherwise you have to judge is the price reasonable now and you'd be happy? Or is it worth a risk what if it goes up $10 vs down $10...if you are seeing costs under $100  or especially anything $75 then no you probably aren't going to see much drop except for the specific sales. The risk is only that it will go up.

 

If the costs are $200 now is there a chance it drops a bit to $150 - its possible, but now way to know for sure.
