As airfare continues to climb amid the Iran war, prospective travelers may be wondering: Should I buy my plane ticket now or wait to see if things improve?
Travel experts say the best bet is generally to buy sooner rather than later.
“Regardless of whether you’re looking to travel in two weeks, two months or even looking ahead to fall travel, waiting to buy airfare ... in hopes the conflict will end soon is honestly riskier than some of the fashion choices we made as teens: Our future self is not going to be happy about it,” said Katy Nastro, a travel expert at Going, a travel deal website.
In short: “If it fits in your budget now, don’t put it off,” Nastro said.
Airline ticket prices generally creep upward as the high-demand summer travel season approaches.
