Bettyluna Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I plan to travel to Bucharest from Los Angeles between 06.25.2015 to 07.18.2015, 2 tickets.The cheapest tickets are with Aeroflot at 1030$/pers (not an option since we'll need a visa). All other tickets are over 1300$/pers.I tried bidding yesterday but not successful even with 1200$/ticket. I would be happy to get those tickets for 1100$/person.Is too early to try bidding on this airfair? When is the best moment to bid?Do you think the price will go down? Thank you for answering, Bettyluna Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 There is no way to know if rates will come down, or move higher, between now and your trip. Unfortunately airfare is a bit of a crapshoot (even when making 'regular' purchases) as rates can often seem to go up/down with little or no pattern to them (although i'm sure the airlines have some formula to the seemingly randomness). All you can do is continue to try to bid, but over the last few years capacity has been but and there have been very few empty seats on planes, making bidding on airfare a difficult proposition as deals become harder and harder to come by.

Bettyluna Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes, I am aware of re-bidding. I start with 800$ and I increased 5 times to 1200$/ticket. Thank you, Bettyluna Link to comment

Bettyluna Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I bought these tickets for my sons. Since any of my bids were not accepted, i bought directly from Price.line the cheapest tickets LAX-OTP via Moscow. Link to comment
