to buy or not to buy

[Ryan]

I'm leaving for europe in May and i havent bought a ticket yet in hope of finding something really cheap. I recently found a ticket on a website for $490, taxes included. Should I buy it or wait another month or so? Im hesitant because ive been looking at Travelzoo, and all of there deals are only good till April, which means that the summer fares are on there way.
Thanks,

Ryan...you are caught up in the madness all of us have when planning a trip. ;D Trying to play out every angle and possibility for that dirt cheap ticket. Having been watching the travel sites as I know you have been you by now have a good idea of the price range for tickets to your destination. You need to decide in your mind what is the price you want to pay. What you think will be a 'low cost' reasonable price for this flight. Once you have that fixed in your mind, and you find that ticket at that price....BUY IT! And be happy, it is the price you wanted to pay. And then......don't look at the airline tickets sites again till after you get back. You got your ticket, on the day you wanted for the price you wanted to pay. Buyer's remorse will make you nuts and there is every possibility it will go up as down. That said...I would not personally wait too much longer as the summer fares will soon kick in and they are historically higher by far.
