Price History on Airfares?

B-Man · 09-28-2002, 11:04 AM

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the price history on airfares? I just started planning a trip to Argentina, and the airfare I found is much lower than I expected (LaGuardia to Buenos Aires for $530). I thought the cost would be at least twice that amount. I am tying to determine if this is actually a good deal, or if I should wait for a lower fare.

Thanks.

If you but the ticket now and the fare drops, most airlines will give you the difference back in at least the form of a voucher you can use again on another trip. Remember, only gaurantee it prices will go up.

CO (and possibly others) are starting to charge a $100 change fee for fare changes, so anything elss significant than $100 is useless.

Hopefully nobody has paid $100 for a $60 ticket voucher or something.

They may have just started. I know American Airlines does not. As long as there is no change to the actual flights you have already ticketed for.
