We're planning a trip for August and September to Europe and need airline tickets. I've been watching for a month and the fares are creeping up. Anyone have a guess/prediction about the airfares and the best time to buy? (I already look on Tuesdays and have watches set up.) I know it's a gamble but we're on a budget and need to save where we can.

Where in Europe do you want to go to? Are you prepared to depart from Florida as well? European charter airlines usually offer very favorable rates on flights from various FL airports to their European hubs (e.g. condor.com to Frankfurt, airberlin.com to Berlin and Düsseldorf, thomsonfly.com zo London and other UK airports, corsairfly.com to Paris).
