El Al in August - when to book?
« on: January 01, 2014, 08:07:38 PM »
Hi. This is my first time posting here, so I apologize if there's any "forum etiquette" that I'm ignoring. We're looking to fly NYC-TLV in August, but the ticket prices are much higher than what we're used to paying (we usually fly in May, just before El Al's peak season and pay $1100-1200). In August, prices are $1600-1700! Should we wait to book in the hope that a summer special will come out or should we book now before prices increase even more (if that's even possible!)? You all seem like experts and I could really use some advice! Thanks in advance!

No SPG or AA points?
